Publisher’s Note

Dear MMI Readers,

Our Modern Manufacturing India (MMI) magazine stood firm in the face of a series of unprecedented challenges imposed by the global coronavirus pandemic last year. We are proud that we could, through MMI, successfully manage to bring up-to-date information from the manufacturing and exhibition worlds to you.

While some decisions that businesses took during the period were quick fixes for solving urgent needs, the rest would perhaps change business models over the longer term as entities recover from the various stages of the crisis they find themselves in.

My heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you, the readers of MMI, for your continued interest and support.

Well, the business sentiment across the industry sectors has been strengthened with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) revising the growth forecast for India’s economy to 11.5 percent in 2021. As we step into the new financial year in India, things are expected to change with the economy likely to record good figures in the medium to long term, and we may find an era of growth.

MMI, with its in-depth research and analysis, endeavors to bring valuable information for its readers. This month’s edition focuses on medical machining. The opinion piece by IMTMA offers an insight into the opportunities for the Machine Tool industry in the Medical Equipment manufacturing. As we continue to share inspirational stories from across the world, we also reach out for your feedback, which we value the most, to better understand your needs.

Readers can download previous issues of MMI from the IMTMA website.
