The foundation is dedicated to the national progress through plastics.

Mr. Hasmukh Patel

He has been nominated by Gujarat State Plastics Manufacturing Association (GSPMA) Ahmedabad, for whom he worked as Executive Committee Member for around ten years after which he served as its President during 1991-1992.

Mr. Arvind Mehta stated that one of the key goals of the Foundation was to facilitate export led growth of the Indian Plastic Industry with a view to double the plastic processing capacity and consumption by 2009. India is expected to become 3rd largest consumer of polymers in the world. The domestic scene in retail sector alone is going to offer historic business opportunities for plastics industry for packaging as well as consumer products. Establishment of Infrastructure & SEZs will also throw up new opportunities aimed at servicing global markets. The plastics industry, therefore, has an unprecedented challenge ahead to gear up for seizing these opportunities. Plastindia Foundation would constantly work to assess the readiness of the businesses and provide boost to different segments for gearing up. Requirements of skilled manpower and processing machinery and dies & molds would pose formidable challenges. India must have good product design centers established at the earliest to cater to increasing demand for new product development for global markets. Countries like Taiwan, Korea & Japan have succeeded in increasing their market shares on the back of creativity & new designs. We have to work closely with educational and technical polymer institutions in order to increase human development resources.

Plastindia Foundation would maintain focus on exhibitions & conferences as main platform for bringing together the business houses in domestic as well as global markets. While Plastindia 2009 would be held in New Delhi from January 31 – February 5, 2009, there would be many opportunities in the interim period to tap and organize overseas participation in international exhibitions to enable businessmen capture the overseas opportunities for finished products, machinery, molds and ancillaries. Projecting & promoting the capabilities of Indian Plastics Industry overseas would lead to establishment of India as a sourcing hub for the world in the field of plastics.

Mr. Arvind Mehta urged the Indian plastics industry to dovetail their expansion plans to capture these opportunities.

Plastindia Foundation would continue to communicate on these events & programs in due course.
