Stable political environment plays a vital role
GHIAL established the FTZ at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) with a vision to set up an Aerotropolis in Hyderabad. SGK Kishore, Chief Executive Officer, GHIAL, shares his views with Janaki Krishnamoorthi.
Engines of growth
The success of an FTZ depends on various factors like attracting investments, level of exports and foreign exchange, linkages with the domestic economy, apart from political stability, strategic location, quality infrastructure and marketing advantages. Janaki Krishnamoorthi explores the success factors of FTZs in the UAE and what should India do catch up momentum.

Kandla Special Economic Zone (KASEZ) has come a long way since its inception. Still, although KASEZ has been the pioneer among SEZs, challenges are plenty in growth and development. Janaki Krishnamoorthi traces the journey of the oldest FTZ in India.
