Global Mining Summit 2008 November 5, 2008

India is a globally leading mineral producer endowed with a rich resource base of several major minerals like coal, iron ore, bauxite, etc. It offers an unmatched opportunity to both domestic and global companies. The growth forecasts in the end-use sectors in the country when combined with the large export market potential suggest a vast market opportunity for investors in the mining sector.

As India gets ready to ramp up investments in the mining sector, the world mineral scenario is also fast-witnessing significant changes. Not only have the world markets seen growing global demands for metals & minerals and consequently high prices but policy & regulatory environments in almost all resource rich nations have also seen dynamic changes, making them more investor friendly. India is thus competing with other resource rich countries to attract investments in the mining sector.
