The proposed IT Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at Manipur is likely to get the Ministry of Commerce & Industry's nod by December 2013.
The SEZ, to come up at Imphal, will be set up by the Manipur government. The board of the Ministry has formally approved the project.
In May 2013, the state government invited Requests for Proposals (RfPs) for setting up a Project Management Unit (PMU) for facilitating implementing of IT SEZ at Imphal.
The state government has earmarked around 27 acre of land for the proposed venture. Apart from the IT-enabled services, the SEZ will have a hotel, health centre, shopping centre, guest house as well as serviced apartments.
