Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Indore registered a growth of 21 per cent in exports during 2015-16 at Rs 5,800 crore, mainly driven by pharma and packaging sectors.
The multi-product trade enclave reported exports to the tune of Rs 4,782 crore in 2014-15.
"The maximum contribution in the exports from SEZ was made by pharma and packaging units and globally there was a good demand for the two sectors," the SEZ's Assistant Development Commissioner Ravi Chhingani told PTI today.
During 2015-16, total turnover from SEZ was Rs 6,466 crore, up 22 per cent over 2014-15 (Rs 5,310 crore).
A total of 49 units from sectors like pharma, packaging materials, engineering, apparel and food processing are operational in the SEZ. Construction of seven other units is underway.
So far, Rs 3,820 crore had been invested in the SEZ, which is providing employment to 18,000 people, said Chhingani.
