The National Special Economic Zone (formerly Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Shilpa Nagar is one of the most suitable sites of Bangladesh<\/a> for setting up industrial establishments. It is along the strategic location of Dhaka-Chattogram industrial corridor. In Chattogram division, business costs and the cost of living are significantly lower than those of the other competing cities of the world. Chattogram (Chittagong), is an attractive destination for setting up huge number of industries, commercial establishments and financial institutions.<\/p>\n The city has a high quality business friendly environment. At present, 30,000 acres are planned for the long term development of the area. National Special Economic Zone, the first planned city of the country, will pave the way for establishing a truly world-class business and industrial center. BEZA<\/a> is in the process of developing a comprehensive master plan for developing this self-contained Industrial City including, incorporating a Seaport, Rail Connectivity, Residential Area, Tourism Park, Power Plant, Hospital and educational establishments.<\/p>\n The interim government, led by Professor Muhammad Yunus, has revised the previous plan to focus on 10 economic zones, instead of the 100 proposed by the former Awami League (AL) government. Among these, the National Special Economic Zone stands out as one of the key zones in the development strategy.<\/p>\n In the first phase, six zones, including the National Special Economic Zone, will be developed with essential utilities such as gas, electricity, and water, along with upgraded road infrastructure. The remaining four zones will follow after the initial phase. According to officials from the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (Beza), the zones include a mix of regional and specialized areas like the Srihatta Economic Zone, Japanese Economic Zone, and Maheshkhali Economic Zone, among others.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The National Special Economic Zone site is located 200 kilometers (km) from Dhaka, 60 km from Chattogram, 70 km from Chattogram Port and the Shah Amanat International Airport and 330 km from Sylhet. The\u00a0 Master Plan area is covered in the two districts, three upazilas, and 6 unions and comprised of 26 mouzas.<\/p>\n The estate has a total land area of 33,805 acres or 136.86 square kilometers (km2) (mostly reclaimed land) with a 25 km coastline along the Sandwip Channel in the Bay of Bengal. Land elevation on the site varies from the site\u2019s lowest point at -3.33 meters (m) MSL to the highest point at +8.71m MSL.<\/p>\n Before development of the\u00a0 site was comprised of: i) 27.6% idle\/barren lands, ii)31.65%mangroves\/forest\/vegetation, iii) 8.71% water bodies\/canals and iv) 6.53% under development. The site location is a moderate to high monsoon climatic area with an average annual rainfall of 500mm. Average temperature on the site varies between 15-25 degrees Celsius annually.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Chattogram<\/p>\n Feni<\/p>\n<\/td>\n i) land uses, ii) access and transport networks, iii) precinct boundaries and characteristics, iv) zoning and permitted uses, v) development guidelines, and iv) environmental and green resilient rules to follow when implementing the zone. The BSMSN site has been divided into 12 separate precincts, which have their own land uses. Although specific plots have not been assigned in the master plan (except for within the industrial areas), it is intended that real estate projects following the designated\/assigned land uses and design guidelines will be constructed over time and sold\/leased at competitive market rates. The precincts, (their land use and size) for BSMSN are identified below.<\/p>\n Detailed feasibility of the site is being conducted now.
