Special Economic Zones (Nepal)

Special Economic Zones is a set of geographic areas inside Nepal that have been allocated to promote and diversify the export based industries. It was conceptualized by Nepal Government in 2013 and laws were formulated in 2016 in the form of Special Economic Zone Act (2016). The laws were subsequently revised in 2019. The industries inside the Special Economic Zones are given various facilities and in return they have to commit to export a minimum of 60% of their production to the foreign market.
