Santacruz Electronics Export Processing Zone (SEEPZ)[1] is a Special Economic Zone in Mumbai, India. Situated in the Andheri East area, it is subjected to liberal economic laws as compared to the rest of India to promote rapid economic growth using tax and business incentives and attract foreign investment and technology.[2] Seepz was created in 1973 and was seen as export processing zone.[3] Since then many other SEZ's have been created in rest of India. SEEPZ mainly houses electronic hardware manufacturing companies, software companies, and jewelry exporters of India.
