Conference Background
Keeping in view, the importance of
mineral based products and valorization of
mineral waste in the world, the Mineral
Business Development (MBD-2022)
conference and exhibition is being
organized by a team of experts from the
mineral industry and academia. The main
objective of this conference is to highlight
the major advances in value addition of
minerals and utilization of wastes, which
directly promotes the Government of India
initiative of ‘Make in India’.
Despite having vast mineral resources and qualified technical manpower, India is lagging
behind in the production of value-added mineral products leading to import of several
high-end mineral based products, which can be produced in India. Country offers
excellent opportunities in attracting foreign
investments and in export of value-added
mineral products. With the depletion of rich
grade mineral resources at fast pace it will
become imperative to utilize the low-grade
mineral resources. A logical extension of this
would be induction of latest beneficiation
technologies and processes for value addition.
MBD-2022 will provide platform for mineral
producers, technology suppliers, R&D
organizations and equipment manufacturers to
showcase their latest products, developments in mineral beneficiation, processing and
its commercialization. The conference will seek to highlight the strategic linkage
between the technological and commercial sides of the mineral industry from discovery
to exploitation and manufacture of the value-added products. The emphasis of this
conference will be to highlight the potential of industrial minerals, non-metallurgical
ore products and high-end mineral user industries. This vital industrial area has been
neglected in the country and now it is high time to work on the mineral based industry
and import substitution in India. The emphasis will be given to eco-friendly mining,
waste utilization, mineral processing technology with minimum carbon footprint.
In line with the Prime minister's vision for Aatmanirbhar Bharat ('Self-reliant India' or
'Self-sufficient India'), mining sector and downstream industries should also contribute
significantly to the economy and it is imperative to convert abundant mineral resources
into valuable products. The focus on mineral value addition also fits in neatly with the
Self-reliant India narrative. Beneficiation is another area where mining industry can
bring more innovations. Import substitution and export of value-added products in tune
with Self-reliant India campaign provide ample opportunities for mineral based
industries. Besides, waste valorization brings together the eco-innovation,
environmental responsibility and profitability aspects. By creating new products, it
opens the opportunity for tapping into new and emerging markets, create increasing
income or reducing the cost of company operation.
Main focus of conference is to highlight the major issues & challenges and advances in
value addition of minerals and utilization of wastes.
The organizing committee of MBD-2022 invites mine owners, mineral producers,
technocrats, R&D institutes and entrepreneurs around the world to come together and
interact for the development of this vital industry.
Who Should Attend?
