    "Leaders in India's heavy industries, from steel and metals to mining and shipping, are shaping the nation’s future through innovation, growth, and global impact"

    Through the efficient and responsible extraction and processing of minerals, the mining industry leaders have set a goal of maximally utilizing India's vast mineral resources. Safety is their highest priority, together with compliance with regulations and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, which enable them to be the world's suppliers of vital raw materials like coal, iron ore, and copper.

    In contrast, the Indian leaders in shipping companies are the key players in the global trade market by offering their services in logistics, fleet management, and port operations. They help to reduce the time and costs of shipping and thus make India a significant player in the global supply chain. The partnership of these two industries not only provides a solid ground for the industrial sector in India but also gives a good chance for the economic development of India at the global level.
