A VSEZ official at the Hyderabad office explained that all the approved firms focus on information technology and IT-enabled services, encompassing areas like Strategy Services, Managed IT Services, IT Design and Development Services, and more.

Srinivas Muppaala, VSEZ Zonal Development Commissioner, stated that the green-lighting of these 12 units in the first quarter of the fiscal year is a positive indicator. He expressed hope that they would commence operations within the stipulated six months.

Established in 1989, VSEZ occupies 360 acres, headquartered in Duvvada, Visakhapatnam. The zone serves export-oriented units not only in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana but also in Chhattisgarh and Yanam.
