Attention turns to India

Increased infrastructure spending and pollution cuts in neighbouring China have propelled Indian companies to be some of the best-performing industrial firms in the world over the last five years. Of the 15 best-performing stocks and shares over that period, eight are from India – home to some 1.3 billion people and Asia’s number three economy. China’s anti-pollution measures and India’s pledge to electrify even the remotest villages have all led to this boom within the industry. The details come from Tata Asset Management, which oversees $3 billion in equity funds (see page 40). It is perhaps fitting then that the industry focuses its attention on wire India, held in Mumbai, from 27 th to 29 th November. This exhibition has steadily grown over the seven times it has been staged. Machines and equipment, the latest technologies and services in the areas of wire and cable production and metallurgy will be presented over the three-day exhibition. Aside to this will be the first staging of the ‘Fastener Special Zone’ in India, where exhibitors of fastener technology will be part of their own special show, highlighting the interest in this sector of the industry.

Our coverage of wire India starts on page 51 and you can collect free copies of Wire & Cable ASIA and EuroWire , and sister publications Tube & Pipe Technology and Tube Products INTERNATIONAL, from our stands in the halls.
