The energy scenario continues to represent a challenge for industrial consumers. Oil and gas prices remain volatile, even if the current levels are lower than the highs of the last 12 months. While the expectation is that they may fall somewhat in the near future, few analysts are ruling out the possibility of increases.

Gold prices have rallied spectacularly during 2004, 2005 and 2006 on the back of several bullish factors such as the state of US economy, crude oil price spurt, unabated demand for jewellery and last but the least, the emergence of new demand centre in the form of ETF. However, much against these spectacular price rallies (over 20% in 2005 and 2006), prices have hardly moved up by about 2% in the first half of 2007. Is it the end of bull rally in gold or is it the lull before storm?

The launch of Exchange Traded Fund in gold in India has been an important milestone. As anticipated, the response has been gradual. Having said thus, a slew of new participants are planning to enter this space. Would it lead to a reduction in demand for jewellery in India? Would it dawn a new era of "Gold as financial instruments of choice for every Indian"?

While Gold ETF is emerging on the horizon, bullion coins and medallions business is also growing by leaps and bounds. The number of banks that have taken to this business is a proof of the demand for such instruments.

Lastly, the most path-breaking development in the recent times has been the emergence of commodity derivatives markets. MCX has shown that given the right product-market proposition and the governance structure, Indian exchanges could deliver world-class solutions on risk management. Is it time to extend the magic of market to spot markets also?

The above are some of the issues that are exciting every participant involved with bullion and jewellery trade. Such issues have multiple dimensions and ramification, which only experts can clarify and guide.

Welcome to India International Gold Convention 2007, to explore the possibilities, to get an in-depth view on the current scenario and to plan and prepare for future. Needless to mention, networking with the best in business comes naturally.

Mission

! Development of transportation infrastructure in general and better roads in particular is essential to the maintenance of economic growth.

! The quality of roads in India, despite recent progress, is still very poor. Only about 12 per cent of the national highways are four-laned. Most are heavily congested, poorly maintained and move slowly. The condition of the state networks is even worse. Only 1 per cent of the state highways are four-laned and only 22 per cent two-laned.

! The ambitious National Highways Development Programme (NHDP) has not proceeded according to the original schedule. It has been hit by delays in project completion, which, in turn, have led to cost escalations. So far, just over 7,000 km of projects have been fully completed. We are nowhere close to the 2015 goal of 50,000 km.

! The state road networks carry 60 per cent of the traffic and account for almost 98 per cent of the total route length. But only about half-a-dozen states have entities dedicated to road development. In other states, it is left to the public works departments (PWDs), which are not always fully equipped to handle the planning or implementation of modern road systems. Another reason for the poor standards of state roads is inadequacy of funds. According to Planning Commission estimates, the funding available for state networks (Rs 80 to Rs 100 billion per year) is just about half of what is required (at least Rs 160 billion per year)
