Global Metals and Mining Meet 2026 - Latest Event

Global Metals and Mining Meet 2026 is a one-day industry summit taking place on 18 February 2026 at Vivanta Kolkata EM Bypass in Kolkata, India. This event, organised under the banner of ET Infra by The Economic Times, convenes sector leaders to discuss the evolving landscape of the metals and mining industry, with a particular focus on India’s strategic growth, regulatory reforms and sustainability imperatives.

The purpose of the Meet is to provide a platform for policymakers, industry executives, investors and technical experts to address critical challenges and opportunities facing the metals and mining ecosystem. As global demand for minerals like iron ore, aluminium, copper and critical metals rises driven by infrastructure development, energy transition and manufacturing the event aims to shape strategic dialogue on policy direction, investment flows and innovation adoption.

The programme features multiple knowledge sessions and panel discussions led by more than 30 speakers from government, public sector undertakings and private industry. The agenda includes topical issues such as regulatory overhaul under the upcoming Mines & Minerals Act, India’s strategy for critical minerals, digital and smart mining technologies, low-carbon and sustainable mining pathways, and value creation in downstream sectors.

The audience for the Meet comprises a broad mix of mine developers and operators, mineral producing companies and non-metallic ore producers, equipment manufacturers, geological and surveying firms, engineering consultancies, safety solution providers and technology vendors all stakeholders engaged in exploration, production, processing and optimisation of mining operations.

Industry relevance stems from the event’s alignment with India’s macroeconomic goals, including its push toward a $5 trillion GDP, energy transition strategy and infrastructure expansion. The Meet enables discussion on emerging frameworks that integrate economic growth with environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities.

For professionals in metals and mining, this high-level forum offers a concentrated opportunity to gain insights on policy shifts, technology trends and sustainability practices, while facilitating strategic networking that could influence operational planning and sector investment decisions.
