REGARDING EOU

The needs for higher level of technological and industrial progress made the Government devise a series of export promotional schemes. EOU & SEZ Schemes are one among them, which provides an internationally competitive duty free environment coupled with better infrastructural facilities for export production.

Export Oriented Units (EOUs) now constitute a very important sector in the country’s Export Production scenario. They have become dominant players in our export strategy, and their share in the Country’s export performance is about 10%. The export growth rate of 30% compares very favorably with the National export growth rate.

Who is eligible to become an EOU?

An EOU can be set up by any entrepreneur for manufacturing of goods and also for rendering services. An EOU can be set up for repair, reconditioning, re-making and re-engineering also.

Trading activity is not allowed in the EOU Scheme.
