Employment Generation Potential  

During the construction phase, various contractors will be engaged on the project.  It is estimated that 500 to 800 people of all categories (skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled) will find employment during this phase of the project.

During operational phase, within two years of commercial operations having commenced, 3000 employees, (permanent as well as temporary) will be employed in the SEZ.
