3.  CEZs are spatial economic regions comprising group of coastal
districts with strong linkage to parts.It is a geographical region
that has economic laws different from country"s typical Laws.
 Each CEZ consist multiple CEUs to each CEU consist more
than one industrial cluster and each cluster have several
manufacturing units.
MEANING

4. INTRODUCTION
 Concept of CEZ came into existence with Sagarmala projects in
25th March 2015.
 Other emerging economies have no CEZs but they have SEZs
(Special Economic Zones).
 CEZs are integral part of the Chinese economy and have
contributed to chinese growth story.
 Indian Government inspired by ‘Shanzen-style’ Chinese model.
 This project comes under Ministry of Shipping Govt. of India.
 Government target to establish total 14-CEZs all over India by
2035.

14-COASTAL ECONOMIC ZONES OF INDIA

6. SIGNIFICANCE OF CEZs IN NATION BUILDING
 It will boost the export by $ 110 billion due to saving shipping time and
resources.
 CEZ propose training drive in the coastal regions to unskilled people.
 CEZ program entails an investment of Rs.4 billion and is likely to
contribute 2% to GDP.
 This plan will create more than 1.5 lakhs jobs for coastal living area.
 This programe focusing on large world class industries that each promise
to generate more than 10,000 jobs.
 Many electricity clusters will take place in CEZs which solve the problems
of power.
 It developed good connectivity among railways, roadways and ports which
improve the infrastructure of coastal regions.
 Reduction of logistic coastal and time for movement of EXIM and
domestic cargo.
 It will enhance the global competitiveness of Indian manufacturing
sectors.

7. EXPECTED VIEW OF COASTAL ECONOMIC ZONE

8. “CEZs” ARE AS ADVANTAGES FOR
CORPORATES
 It would be a golden opportunity for corporates who are going
to establish their business in CEZs.
 Industrialists can get cheap land and labour from rural coastal
areas.
 They can import raw material with minimum logistic cost.
 NITI AYOG giving offer of 10 years corporation tax holidays.
 Industries can save their resources because linking of railways,
roadways and waterways.

9. RECENT SCENERIO OF COASTAL REGIONS IN INDIA
Geographical Basis:
 India has 7516 kms long coastline.
 Indian coast divided into 4 pieces (a) Offshore sandy beach-43%, (b) Rock beach-11%,
(c) Marshy coast-10%, (d) Muddy flats-36%.
 9 states and 4 union territories are covered coastal regions of India.
 These states have 13-major and 200 non-major ports.
Economical Basis:
 GDP contribution to nation is higher from the mega cities like (Mumbai, Chennai,
Kolkata) which are situated along coastline.
 Eastern and Western coasts are most important trading centres from ancient times.
 Fisheries business not only provide food but also generate income, employment and
FOREX.
 Seaside regions specially engaged in the activities of fishing, agriculture, oil exploration,
handicrafts and tourism.

10. VULNERABILITY AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS ON
COASTAL ECO-SYSTEM
 New established industries will finished the greenery and agricultural
fields.
 4 million Marine population engaged in fishing and 61% fishermen are
BPL. Hence CEZ project will sweep the income factor of the coastal
community.
 Introduction of CEZ might be create environmental problems like:
coastal erosion & coastal accretion.
 When industries like thermal power, disastrous chemical & leather will
release their waste in sea would be destroy aquatic animals.
 Releasing of greenhouse gases will rise the temperature of coastal
regions.
 Big manufacturing corporations will vanished the traditional business of
coastal people like ( handicrafts, fishing, agriculture and animal
husbandary ).

11. CONCLUSION
 By seeing every dimension of this scheme, reached at
conclusive point that really the decision related to CEZ is
beneficial & favorable initiative by the government. People
should welcome this assignment in their particular regions,
may be it would create difficulty in beginning for short term
but at largely it is favorable for society. No doubt it will come
out as a significant factor of country’s growth but the
government should try to compensate the fishing community
who are suffering from this project and should also make some
scientific arrangements for saving the environment through
harmful elements, like as other emerging economies are doing.
