In a bid to make India an export hub for electronics, the government plans to set up at least one SEZ or special economic zone in every State under the proposed electronic policy. The new policy will focus on making India an export hub. Under the new policy, which was earlier expected to be out by March 2018, the government also plans to sign free trade agreements (FTAs) with countries, including those in Africa and Europe, to which India can export smaller electronic products. It had also recommended that Costal Economic Zones (CEZs) be set up, similar to what China has done.
