The company also shared, that the development of an Economic Zone is a highly technical chore requiring multi-faceted approach because of the involvement of different independent organizations and therefore, realignments are expected and understandable by all the concerned quarters.

However, despite all challenges the Management of KPEZDMC is equipped and committed to deliver at every level.
