The airport premise is also secured by layers of security by CISF, BCAS and Telangana state police making the area very secure, unaffected by disturbances and unrest.

    • GMR International Free Trade Zone (GIFTZ)

      GMR Aerospace & Industrial Park includes a land area of approx. 20 acres earmarked as a Free Trade Warehousing Zone (FTWZ) to complement supply chain distribution, warehousing, storage, value addition and packaging. This is the only airport-based FTWZ in India, which brings down transportation costs and reduces the turnaround time for the movement of man and material.

      Units within the FTWZ are allowed to export, import and re-export products without the burden of taxes, duties and levies as per the regulations that a business would otherwise pay in any other Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) land. The FTWZ allows businesses to locate stock in close proximity to their Indian customers, reducing buffer stocks and improving turnaround time. This increases forward and reverse service supply-chain efficiencies.

      FTWZ units are also permitted to trade goods, assemble completely knocked-down (CKD) and semi-knocked-down(SKD) kits, package or repackage, re-sell, re-invoice or re-export imported goods.

      • Hassle-free business environment in terms of local laws & regulatory compliance.
      • Goods can be stored for a couple of years by deferring payment of duties, thus freeing up working capital. There is no interest levied on deferred duty.
      • No import/export duties are to be paid in case the goods are imported from one country and re-exported to another with or without value addition.
      • 24/7 Customs clearance enhances the speed and efficiency of the distribution of spare parts, which is very critical in aircraft repairs and maintenance.
      • Value-added activities like labelling, assembly of CKD and SKD kits, packaging or repackaging, re-selling, re-invoice or re-exporting of imported goods, setting up of office in the premises etc. are permitted with little to no interference from customs personnel.
    • Opportunities At GIFTZ

    • Warehousing

      The FTWZ facilitates logistics companies to build warehouses to store commodities for both the short and long term without the impact of import duty.

    • Distribution

      The FTWZ allows companies to leverage state-of-the-art infrastructure warehouses, both for Indian and international distribution. It provides an opportunity for effective re-export of commodities with facilities for sorting, grading, kitting and repackaging, among others. It also imparts an opportunity to undertake value-added activities like reverse logistics apart from general cargo handling.

    • Trading

      FTWZ at the GMR Hyderabad Airport City entails the re-export, re-sale and re-invoice of goods without any restrictions. The goods can also be traded in DTA by payment of customs duties as applicable at the time of sale.
