If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you need to attend the Indian Metals Conference taking place between 19-20 November in Mumbai. Once again we are bringing together over 200 key players in Indias metal industry to discuss the most topical issues facing the Indian metals market, including expected growth, supply and demand for raw materials and the impact of new regulations on hedging activities.

Sponsorship and Exhibition Opportunities

If you want to raise your company profile, be seen to be a key player in the industry and ensure your company is visible during some of the most important dates in the metals calendar, then talk to us about becoming a sponsor or exhibitor.

5 reasons to attend:
HEAR expert panel discussions on Indias mining policies and the much
needed reforms. With only 10% of Indias landmass having been explored for mineral wealth, analysists estimate extensive reserves of copper and zinc as well as 2.9 billion tones of bauxite. With the government looking for new ways to entice foreign investment for prospecting and mining, our panel of experts explore the reforms needed to facilitate this.
