Compiled from the AllFrontierGlobal data layer · verified 5 August 2026
A directory of every special economic zone (SEZ) slug the AllFrontierGlobal site tracks, run through the same 62-rule geo-classifier used for ports, plus a handful of hand-authored SEZ deep-dive profiles. Match rates are genuinely low here — most SEZs are named for their zone or operator rather than a city, so the classifier’s name-prefix rules mostly miss. That absence is shown plainly, not hidden.
543 SEZ slugs run through the classifier — only 109 matched a specific country/region (the rest show “No” and blank geography, exactly as the classifier left them).

| Difc Dubai | The Dubai International Financial Centre — a financial free zone with its own English common-law jurisdiction, regulator and courts, hosting the largest concentration of international banks and law firms in the Middle East. | For Indian financial-services firms, DIFC is the principal regional hub for serving GCC clients. Major Indian banks (SBI, ICICI, HDFC, Bank of Baroda) have DIFC presence, and major Indian asset managers and family offices have established DIFC entities for offshore management of NRI and global Indian wealth. The India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), in force since May 2022, supports growing financial-services trade. DIFC is also a useful jurisdiction for India-related M&A holding structures, given its English common-law courts and well-tested precedent on shareholder rights and contract enforcement. |
| Jafza | Jebel Ali Free Zone — the largest free zone in the Middle East and one of the largest in the world, anchored on the Jebel Ali Port complex in Dubai, hosting approximately 9,500 companies across 57 sq km and contributing roughly 23% of UAE foreign direct investment inflows. | For Indian commercial parties, JAFZA is the single most operationally significant overseas presence platform. Approximately 1,500 to 2,000 of JAFZA's 9,500 tenants are Indian-promoted entities, ranging from Tata Group regional headquarters and Reliance Industries subsidiaries through to mid-sized Indian-promoter trading houses and SME export operations. The structural rationale for Indian use of JAFZA includes: (1) GCC market access with full foreign ownership without requiring an Emirati national partner; (2) regional distribution to Africa, Iran (with sanctions complexity), Pakistan and CIS markets; (3) re-export structuring of goods from third-country origin destined for various GCC markets; (4) services-sector regional headquarters for IT services, financial services, professional services, with the substantial Indian professional workforce in Dubai providing recruitment depth; (5) commodity-trading and gem-and-jewellery operations leveraging JAFZA's precious-metals-and-stones cluster. The India-UAE CEPA (effective 2022) has further reinforced JAFZA's value proposition by providing CEPA-preferential treatment for goods of Indian origin transiting through JAFZA to UAE mainland, although the CEPA does not extend automatic preferential treatment to GCC-onward shipments. Indian banks (SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak) maintain JAFZA-active UAE branch operations; Indian payment infrastructure (UPI-AANI, RuPay-UAEPGS) operates at the consumer-and-SME interface. The combination makes JAFZA the de facto Indian commercial gateway to the broader West Asia and Africa regions. |
| Jafza Jebel Ali Free Zone | The Jebel Ali Free Zone — one of the largest free zones in the world, integrated with Jebel Ali Port, and the principal regional re-export hub for the Middle East. | For Indian exporters and re-exporters, JAFZA is the principal Middle East operational hub. Many Indian companies establish JAFZA presence to serve the broader GCC, North Africa, East Africa, Central Asia and CIS markets from a tax-efficient base with strong logistics integration. The India-UAE CEPA (in force since May 2022) provides preferential tariff treatment for the substantial bilateral trade flow. Indian sectors with particularly strong JAFZA presence include pharmaceuticals, food processing, engineering products, textiles, and consumer products. |
| Kaec | King Abdullah Economic City — Saudi Arabia's flagship Vision 2030 SEZ on the Red Sea coast, integrating an industrial valley, a residential city, and a deepwater port (King Abdullah Port) into a single planned development of approximately 173 sq km. | India-KAEC commercial activity has grown progressively over the 2018-2026 period, anchored by Indian pharmaceutical and FMCG manufacturers establishing in-zone production for the Saudi and broader GCC markets. KAEC's port-integrated model gives Indian exporters direct ship-to-factory flows that bypass the customary Jebel Ali-Saudi truck transit. Indian construction equipment and infrastructure goods supplying Vision 2030 megaprojects (NEOM, Red Sea Project, AMAALA) often warehouse at KAEC for distribution to multiple project sites. Indian banks (SBI, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank) maintain Saudi correspondent relationships, and the Indian Embassy in Riyadh has progressively expanded commercial-affairs staffing to match the growth in Indian-Saudi commercial throughput. KAEC residency has become a recognised relocation pathway for Indian executive talent moving from UAE-based regional roles toward Saudi-mainland-focused positions. |
| Manaus Free Trade Zone | A free trade zone in the Amazon rainforest established to anchor industrial activity in northern Brazil and currently serving as a major electronics, motorcycle and consumer-goods manufacturing hub. | For Indian companies, Manaus is reachable through Brazilian Atlantic ports (Santos, Rio de Janeiro) plus river-feeder onward to Manaus, or via air freight directly from Indian gateways through Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro hub airports. Indian motorcycle and auto-component exporters have used Manaus as a manufacturing or assembly base for the broader South American market under the Mercosur framework, leveraging the ZFM tax incentives plus the Mercosur tariff treatment. |
| Pudong Ftz | The Shanghai Pudong New Area — a 120-square-kilometre development zone east of the Huangpu River, hosting the Shanghai Free Trade Zone and the Lin-gang Special Area. | For Indian companies, the Shanghai FTZ is a useful entry point for serving the Yangtze River Delta region — the largest and wealthiest regional market in China. Indian pharmaceutical, IT-services and engineering firms have established Shanghai presence to serve Chinese enterprise customers. The bilateral trade balance favours China substantially, but Indian exports of cotton yarn, organic chemicals, iron ore (cyclically) and increasingly pharmaceuticals and IT services pass through Shanghai-area customs. |
| Shenzhen Sez | China's original special economic zone, established in 1980, which became the laboratory for China's entire reform-and-opening process and grew into a city of 18 million. | For Indian companies, Shenzhen is the principal source of consumer electronics, telecoms equipment, components, plastic products and finished textiles for the Indian market. Indian importers source through OEMs, ODMs and consolidators in Shenzhen and the broader Pearl River Delta. Indian companies wishing to establish manufacturing or sourcing presence in Shenzhen typically use a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (WFOE) structure under the unified Foreign Investment Law. The India-China trade balance is substantially in China's favour; Indian exports to Shenzhen include cotton yarn, organic chemicals, iron ore (in some years), and a small but growing flow of pharmaceuticals and engineering products. |
| Tanger Med Free Zone | Morocco's flagship industrial free zone, integrated with the Tanger-Med port complex, and the principal Mediterranean export base for European-bound automotive and electronics manufacturing. | For Indian companies, Tanger-Med Free Zone is a useful base for serving European markets while benefiting from Morocco's preferential EU access. Indian automotive components, textile and apparel manufacturers, and chemical companies have explored or established Tanger-Med presence as a complement to direct India-EU trade. The Morocco-EU Association Agreement and Morocco's membership of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) make Tanger-Med a useful pivot point between the European, African and South Asian markets. |
Each row in the main table is one SEZ slug run through the site's 62-rule geo-classifier — the same one used for the ports directory — to assign country, region, sea/waterway and route class; only 109 of the 543 rows matched, because most SEZs are named for a zone or operator rather than a city, and unmatched rows are left blank rather than filled in. A second table adds 8 hand-authored deep-dive profiles from sez/handwritten.json. Verify any SEZ-specific detail against an official or original source.
The directory lists 543 special economic zone slugs run through the site's geo-classifier, plus 8 additional hand-authored deep-dive profiles, for 551 rows shown in total across the two tables on the page.
The page explains this directly: match rates are genuinely low because most SEZs are named for their zone or operator rather than a city, so the classifier's name-prefix rules mostly miss, and only 109 of the 543 classified rows matched a specific country or region.
The same 62-rule geo-classifier the page says is used for the site's ports directory is applied here too, matching each SEZ slug's prefix to a country, region, sea and route class wherever a rule fires.
No — the page states the blanks are left exactly as the classifier produced them and are shown plainly, not hidden, meaning an unmatched row reflects a genuine classifier miss rather than missing or deleted data.
They are separate deep-dive entries read from sez/handwritten.json, distinct from the classifier-driven main table, each carrying a lede and an India-angle note rather than the geo-classification fields the main table uses.
