A zone feasibility study must demonstrate not only business economics but also fit with the selected location, infrastructure availability and a realistic implementation schedule.
Before drafting, verify eligible activities, the application process, management-company requirements and the status of land and utility capacity.
Fit with the location
Match the product and process with the zone regime, then test land area, sanitary and environmental constraints, transport, electricity, gas, water and other utilities.
What the study should cover
Product and market
Capacity, customers, pricing and sales.
Technology
Process, equipment, materials, people and safety.
Site and utilities
Land, layout, loads, technical conditions and logistics.
Investment and impact
CAPEX, funding, timing, jobs and output.
Implementation schedule
The plan should connect land allocation, design, permits, utility connections, equipment, construction, commissioning and ramp-up. The financial model must use the same drawdown and sales dates.
Before application
- verify eligible activity and procedure;
- obtain the management-company checklist;
- define land and utility needs;
- support technology and CAPEX;
- align construction and launch;
- state investment, jobs and ramp-up.
FAQ
Are all zone requirements identical?
No. Regimes, activities, infrastructure and forms vary by zone.
Is describing tax relief enough?
No. Deliverability, infrastructure, financing and timing also need evidence.
When should an SEZ and industrial zone be compared?
Before fixing the site, because the regimes, infrastructure and obligations affect the model.
Official sources and requirement checks
Requirements vary by project type and document recipient. Before work starts, confirm the current checklist with the lender, investor, zone management company or public authority.
