Why GCCs choose MIHAN Nagpur SEZ
The case for MIHAN Nagpur SEZ
MIHAN's zero-airport-distance positioning is unique in India: no other IT SEZ is physically adjacent to an international cargo airport. For logistics technology GCCs managing pan-India or global supply chains, Nagpur's geographic centrality and MIHAN's cargo airport adjacency provide operational advantages not available from any other Indian IT zone. Maharashtra IT Policy 2023 applies; Section 10AA SEZ benefits active.

FAQ
Common questions about MIHAN Nagpur SEZ
Why is Nagpur's geographic centrality relevant for a logistics technology GCC?
Nagpur is India's Zero Mile point - the city from which distances to all corners of India were measured during British Survey of India. NH-44 (India's longest highway, Srinagar to Kanyakumari) and NH-6 intersect the city. MIHAN's cargo airport enables same-day air connectivity to Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Kolkata. This centrality means supply chain monitoring systems, last-mile delivery platforms and cold-chain logistics technology GCCs can serve pan-India networks from Nagpur with equal efficiency in all directions.
What aerospace technology advantage does MIHAN's MRO zone provide for a GCC?
Boeing India's MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) facility and Air India's MRO are located within MIHAN's aerospace zone. This creates a talent pool of aviation engineers, avionics specialists and aerospace software professionals collocated with an IT SEZ, enabling captives in aircraft health monitoring, MRO software (ERP for aviation), and avionics technology to hire both the aerospace domain and IT engineering talent from the same zone.
