Welcome to MMMM

MMMM 2011 (Minerals, Metals, Metallurgy and Materials) is the eighth show in the series and scheduled for 11-14th Feb 2011, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.

It is one of the most significant events in the Indian minerals, metals and materials market and will serve as an ideal B2B platform for entrepreneurs, CEO’s consultants, senior government officials, decision makers and trade delegations to congregate, brainstorm, showcase and forge meaningful business partnerships.

A high level technical conference which includes presentations given by experts from across the globe allows further opportunity to learn of the latest development and innovations and provides direct interaction with industry peers.

MMMM, the biennial Indian trade fair, has developed into a prestigious show presented by national as well as international participants. The event has gained widespread recognition and has become a fixed entry in the industry’s list of important international trade fairs.

India, with rich natural resources, has made considerable strides in the development of the mining and metals industry.  Minerals and metals occupy a prominent place for the role that they play in the industrialisation and development of the economy. In the wake of current global competitiveness, there is a greater need for effecting fast technological developments in all spheres.

The country is endowed with huge resources of many metallic and non metallic minerals. The total value of mineral production is estimated at INR 1, 27,921 crores, which shows an increase of about 4.61 per cent over the previous year.

Being aware of the vast potential of the sector, the Indian Government has been consistent and pragmatic by inviting private investment and injecting funds, technology and managerial expertise. FDI in the mining sector for all non-atomic and non-fuel minerals have now been fully opened up to to 100 per cent through automatic route including diamonds and precious stones.

India offers investment opportunities in excess of US$ 20 billion over the next 3 years through development and expansion of ferrous and non - ferrous plants.

India’s recently announced new “Steel Policy” has set its goals at 110 million tonnes of steel production by 2020 which would make it both a top 5 world producer and a top 5 market for steel and non – ferrous metals.
