• To develop the hinterland of the port & take advantage of the proposed transshipment hub a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) near the port should be developed . This will also act as a nucleus for the future industrial expansion .Developing port based industries in the SEZ, would provide dedicated cargo to the proposed port and hence enhance the viability of the port. Actually the need for a SEZ is acute in case of Vizhinjam since there is no significant hinterland cargo .
Target industries include:
• Marine/Agro Food Processing
• High Tech industries such as computer chips, mobile phones, telephones etc
• Mineral Processing
• Manufacturing of White Goods
• Pharmaceuticals
• R&D Establishments
Since sufficient land is not readily available near the area for the proposed port and the region being densely need to be done to find out a suitable location development.
A free trade ware housing zone also is proposed near the Vizhinjam port.
