Why GCCs choose Nagpur MIHAN-SEZ IT Zone
The case for Nagpur MIHAN-SEZ IT Zone
Nagpur's unique proposition is the zero-airport-distance MIHAN SEZ with logistics tech GCC positioning. India's geographic centrality means Nagpur is equidistant from Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Delhi - within 2 to 3 hours flying. For GCCs with pan-India supply chain or logistics mandates, no other Indian IT zone provides this logistics technology positioning. Maharashtra IT Policy 2023 applies, and MIHAN SEZ provides Section 10AA income tax benefits.
Watch outs
- Talent supply is the main constraint; Nagpur has 25-plus engineering colleges but limited premium niche talent
- MIHAN is airport-adjacent but relatively isolated from Nagpur city amenities; plan on-site F&B and transport
- MIHAN development has been slower than planned; verify specific facility readiness before commitment

FAQ
Common questions about Nagpur MIHAN-SEZ IT Zone
What is the logistics technology advantage of MIHAN Nagpur for a GCC?
Nagpur is India's geographic centre (Zero Mile point) with NH-44 (India's longest highway, Srinagar to Kanyakumari) and NH-6 intersecting the city. Combined with MIHAN's cargo hub (one of India's largest planned cargo airport zones) and railway connectivity on both Mumbai-Howrah and Delhi-Chennai mainlines, Nagpur is optimally positioned for GCCs managing pan-India supply chains, cold-chain logistics, and last-mile technology operations. No other Indian IT SEZ location provides this logistics centrality.
