BigMint India Ferrous Week 2026 is a flagship three-day international conference that brings together the entire Indian ferrous ecosystem under one roof. The event serves as a high-impact platform for in-depth discussions on market trends, policy frameworks, pricing dynamics, supply-chain challenges, and technological innovations shaping India’s iron and steel industry.

Since its inception in 2014, BigMint’s annual ferrous conference has evolved into one of the most influential gatherings for the metals and mining community. Over the years, it has earned strong credibility for delivering actionable market intelligence, thought leadership, and unmatched networking opportunities.

With participation from 25+ countries, the conference consistently attracts senior decision-makers from steel producers, iron ore miners, pellet manufacturers, DRI and scrap players, coal suppliers, traders, policymakers, and technology providers. Each edition raises the benchmark for industry dialogue and collaboration.

BigMint India Ferrous Week 2026 will once again integrate:

Together, these three conferences create a comprehensive and strategic forum covering the entire ferrous value chain—from raw materials to finished steel.
