| I take great pleasure in presenting our 13th annual international petrochemicals conference, Indian Petrochem - 2011, on 8th and 9th November - 2011 in Mumbai, hosted by CPMA (Chemicals and Petrochemicals Manufacturers' Association of India) and Elite Conferences.
The Indian Petrochem conference has emerged as the annual focal point for a gathering of the global and Indian petrochemical fraternity, and an important event in the petrochemical industry calendar. Over the years, participation at this event has grown rapidly.
The Indian Petrochem conference offers focused coverage of the Indian and global petrochemical markets. In the past years the participants have been highly appreciative of the distinguished panel of industry speakers at this event. This year too we have endeavoured to put together a vibrant program through continued support from the industry.
Asian economies have recovered faster than the developed world in the aftermath of the global economic recession. Lower commodity prices and greater focus on domestic demand will ensure that Asia remains at the centre of petrochemicals industry growth over the years. India along with China shall lead the way in domestic demand creation. The focus of the conference is the global petrochemicals markets, in particular the olefinic and aromatic chains, with a specific focus on India. This year's conference also highlights the challenges posed by the tight economic climate and the rapid capacity expansion in the petrochemical industry.
I am sure that the participants at this year's conference will not only benefit from the interaction with their industry peers and the opportunity to develop personal contacts, but also add to their industry knowledge through the presentations from our distinguished panel of speakers.
I warmly invite you to be a part of this forum and look forward to meeting you at Indian Petrochem – 2011 and hope to see continued strong participation.
