I visited Indian Bank branch located at the entrance of MEPZ. Very Entrance Indian Bank ATM is also available. Lot of export companies are working at that location. The location is easily reachable from Sanatorium Railway Station and also a bus stand is adjacent to the MEPZ. A big Sidha hospital is also nearby.

Madras Export Processing Zone (MEPZ) is a special economic zone in Chennai, India. It is one of the seven export processing zones in the country set up by the central government.[1] It was established in 1984 to promote foreign direct investment, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and create greater employment opportunities in the region.[2] The MEPZ is located on GST Road in Tambaram, Chennai. It is located 6 km south of Chennai International Airport.HistoryEditThe MEPZ was started in 1984 as an initiative of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry with an investment of ₹ 6716.7 million.[3] On 1 January 2003, the zone was converted into a special economic zone (SEZ)[2] with an added objective of facilitating exports through reduction of transaction costs.[4] To facilitate this, the Ministry of Commerce and Industries introduced special features such as offshore banking units and container freight stations to be set up within the zone, in addition to liberalised customs procedures.[4]In March 2013, an additional exit and entry point for heavy vehicles arriving at and leaving the MEPZ–SEZ was opened.[5] The zone is under the administrative control of the Ministry of Commerce and Industries and caters to the needs of units within the SEZ, in addition to monitoring the functions of 100-percent export-oriented units (EOUs) located in Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry, and Andaman & Nicobar Islands.[3]The zone is headed by a development commissioner.Special economic zoneEditSpread over an area of 265 acres (109 hectares),[3]MEPZ SEZ is a multi-product zone housing 117 functional units.[4] In addition, another 27 units are under various stages of implementation.[4] The zone employs over 26,000 people.[3] In the manufacturing front, there are 110 SME units in the zone. MEPZs manufacturing sector employs nearly 20,000 people.[3] IT companies housed in the zone include Cognizant Technology Solutions, Computer Sciences Corporation, CSS and HTC Global Services among others.[2] About 50 container trucks arrive at and leave the zone every day.[5]InfrastructureEditThe zone has an exclusive 230 KV sub-station, capable of supplying 30 MW. It also has an exclusive telephone exchange with fibre opticconnectivity, a post office, video conferencing facility in the administrative building, and a telecommunication tower. The foreign exchange transactions of the zone are facilitated by a branch of Indian Bank located within in the SEZ.[6]RevenueEditThe export turnover for the year 2006-2007 was ₹24,620 million, of which manufacturing sector accounted for 70 percent.[3] Garments, software, and engineering products contributed more than 50 percent of the export value. In recent years, engineering sector has been promoted with special reference to automobile ancillaries.[4]As of 2008, software exports from the zone averaged ₹ 300 to 350 million per month.[3]

New pedestrian way to mepz.Everyone should have mepz access card to enter this campus. Also common access card also available for now. For the past years they are spending lot and lots of money for entry restrictions like allowing mepz pass tagged vehicles (four wheeler and above) .No restrictions on two wheeler.

This great Special Economic Zone is one of the biggest tech park in Chennai and many companies are there.Now a days they are very strict it seems. Ive moved out of this place but got info from my friends that this management never allow any online order delivery. Entry also bit complicated and strict since huge amount of employees and their safety.Cognizant is one of companies in MEPZ and having great work environment, good cafeteria and especially nice OAT.

My workplace is situated here. Theyve destroyed a lot of trees to get to this point. Roads are properly maintained. Not sure if its legal to collect toll inside.There are no public conveniences here which is odd for a place where 1000s come in search of jobs or official purposes.Smoking ban is in place, on paper!!

One of the best ideas from government to get revenue and employment. Avg sized industries always have job opportunity for almost all educational qualification. If you are a fresher and looking for a job opportunity. Yes... You can start from here.

Review №49

This place has changed a lot. Now it has a strict security system.Youll need a valid ID card (from the offices inside the MEPZ) to go inside. If you dont have one, go to the security reception and ask for a visitors pass. For that you will need a valid ID proof (i.e. voter ID, Aadhar card etc.) They will take your photo and instantly give you the pass.Once you get the pass you are good to go if you have your own vehicle. If you dont have one, you can take the company provided buses depending upon where you want to go.If you are planning to walk, then keep in mind, its a long way. So, better not take the option.

Very worst place.. maintainance is poor.. Every foot passers should produce ID to pass through... But a even a terrorist can get lift from vehicles and easily get into MEPZ .... One of the worst Security system I ever saw in my life... No checking on two wheelers... Anyone can pass through with a bike no need for IDs no checkups ..... worst system..

Located near Tambaram, MEPZ is well connected to the rest of Chennai through the suburban railway and MTC buses. Tambaram Sanatorium on the Chennai Beach - Tambaram line is the train station closest to MEPZ. Tens of thousands of employees work in the many number of companies inside this SEZ. It has IT companies like DXC, Cognizant etc and many units that manufacture garments and other goods for export. The roads within the SEZ are clean and well maintained. Theres even a small lake inside MEPZ. The campus has a lot of trees too. Please note that the SEZ administration levies toll for cars and heavy vehicles.
