A New Delhi show for minerals, metals, metallurgy and materials

India’s steel and metals production is expected to grow from the current level of 38 million tonnes to 50 million tonnes by 2012 and 100 million tonnes by 2020. The huge capacity addition in the steel sector will require an estimated investment of US$16.5bn in the next 7-8 years. Event director, Mr Oleg Netchaev, comments, “India has one of the fastest growing metals, metallurgy and minerals sectors in the world.” The event has increased at least twice in size since the inaugural event, with the 2008 show set to include an expanded range of sectors. The last exhibition in 2006 attracted over 15,000 professional visitors. The technology on offer at MMMM 2008 will include tube and pipe, wire and cable, casting machinery, foundry machinery, and furnaces/heat treatment. Visitors will include senior executives from integrated steel works, cold rolling mills, tube mills, and wire/cable manufacturing.
