The Minister said that Dahej SEZ, stood 26th among Top-50 and is the only SEZ from India to have figured in the list from 24 countries for 2012-13, selected by the jury on various parameters.

He said that Dahej SEZ did it second time in two years. Earlier, it had figured in FDI Magazine’s ‘Top-25 Free Zones’. He attributed the SEZ’s winning award to Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s farsighted, transparent policies and good governance for industrial development.

It is spread over 1,732 hectares, while plots have been allotted to 68 units, which invested Rs.35,000-crore, and employed about 26,500 people.
