How was your overall experience at IMME 2024?

Overall, IMME 2024 has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The exhibition successfully brought together key players from the mining and construction industries, offering a comprehensive platform for collaboration and innovation. The participation this year was remarkable, with a strong presence from industry leaders, government representatives, and technology providers, reflecting the dynamic growth of the sector.

Networking opportunities were abundant, allowing us to connect with diverse stakeholders, including potential customers, suppliers, and partners. The atmosphere was highly conducive to meaningful discussions, helping us explore new business avenues and strengthen existing relationships.

Visitor engagement was also a highlight, with an enthusiastic response and meaningful discussions. The level of interest and interaction exceeded expectations, underscoring the relevance of the solutions and innovations we brought to the exhibition. IMME 2024 has once again proven to be a key event for advancing industry dialogues and fostering partnerships that will drive the future of mining and construction.

How do you view the market demand for mining equipment and components in India and globally?

The mining sector continued to perform well even during and post-pandemic.

Coal, which contributes to over 50% of the overall mineral production in India, has grown steadily at 7 to 8% on a year-on-year basis, primarily driven by requirements in the power sector. Reduction in the import of coal also fueled growth in the domestic coal sector. Metal minerals like iron ore registered growth, along with non-metallic minerals like limestone. However, minor minerals, especially granite, faced some challenges as exports for these faced several issues, which are now gradually getting resolved.
