Publisher's Note

Dear MMI Readers,

Businesses and trade across the world including India are facing economic challenges and disruptions created by the outbreak of COVID-19. It becomes all the more important for manufacturing industry to continue to build its confidence levels and spearhead policy advocacy with central and state governments as well as stakeholders in a focused manner.

The manufacturing industry wholeheartedly supports the decisions taken by the government in tackling this pandemic. The industry will work closely with the government to take appropriate measures to overcome the economic slowdown with corrective measures to help it re-emerge as a strong contender. More on this will be discussed in subsequent issues of Modern Manufacturing India (MMI). As the manufacturing industry readies itself for sweeping measures, readers are invited to contribute their out-of-the-box ideas to develop the industry several notches up.

I thank you for your continued interest in the activities of the Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA), and once again urge you to provide your valuable feedback to help us understand your requirements as we move on from here. I hope that you cherish the time spent with MMI.

Thank you once again for your support.

The industry will work closely with the government to take appropriate measures to overcome the economic slowdown with corrective measures to help it re-emerge as a strong contender.
