Aequs SEZ ranks among the best performing zones in GoI rating

Aequs SEZ Pvt. Ltd., has been ranked among the 13 best performing Special Economic Zones (SEZ)s in India by the Industrial Park Ratings System Report (IPRS), released by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT). 

Released last week after a stringent evaluation exercise over several months, the 2nd edition of the IPRS ranks 449 industrial parks and SEZs across the country based on stringent criteria and feedback from tenants.

Aequs SEZ, an arm of Aequs Infra, began operations in 2009 in Belagavi and is India’s first notified precision engineering SEZ for Aerospace manufacturing. Subsequently, it added toys manufacturing units to its portfolio of tenants.

More recently, Aequs kicked off India’s first toy manufacturing park, the Koppal Toys Cluster (KTC), and the Hubballi Durable Goods Cluster (HDC), which is also first in the country.

Speaking on the achievement, Aravind Melligeri, Chairman and CEO, Aequs said, “This rating by the government of India for Aequs SEZ is an endorsement of our differentiated offering based on our pioneering ecosystems of efficiency that provide an end-to-end manufacturing value stream to customers. On this occasion, I would like to thank our customers and reaffirm our commitment to deliver customer value consistently and assiduously.”

The IPRS 2.0 by DPIIT aims to enhance industrial competitiveness while attracting investments. Through the ratings, investors can gain valuable insights on industrial infrastructure across the country and make informed decisions related to investments. The report will act as guidance for policymakers on how to further enhance the current industrial ecosystem.

All state-run industrial parks and 51 SEZs, including 29 privately-run zones, participated in the IPRS 2.0. The ranking was based on inputs aggregated from responses from both developers and 5,700 tenants from all these zones.

The SEZ operators were judged on four key pillars that included internal and external infrastructure, business support services and environment, safety and sustainability. The scoring was done basis feedback received on 45 parameters under each of these pillars.
