India has invited the global mining community to participate in India Mining Week 2026, seeking international collaboration, expertise and investment to support the development of the country’s mining and minerals sector. The event is scheduled to be held from November 15 to 17, 2026, at Yashobhoomi in New Delhi. Coal Additional Secretary Rupinder Brar extended the invitation while addressing India Mining: Global Connect, an international outreach interaction involving representatives from diplomatic missions in 19 countries. The meeting focused on opportunities for greater international participation and cooperation in India’s mining and minerals industry. Brar said India’s mining and minerals sector had a significant role in supporting the country’s growth and global ambitions as the economy advances as the world’s fourth-largest. She also highlighted the importance of ideas, experience and support from partners across the world in developing a more innovative, sustainable and globally connected sector. India Mining Week 2026 is being positioned as the country’s largest conference-cum-exhibition for the mining and minerals sector. The Global Connect interaction formed part of the build-up to the event and was organised by the Ministry of Coal and Ministry of Mines, Government of India, in association with the mining industry. The interaction was hosted by Satish Chandra Dubey, Minister of State for Coal and Mines, and Brar. Senior representatives from participating diplomatic missions and stakeholders from across the mining and minerals ecosystem discussed country-level engagement at the event. Dubey called for active cooperation and participation from the international mining community. He invited partner countries to support the participation of leading mining companies, major investors and prominent delegates, with the government viewing such engagement as mutually beneficial and capable of strengthening collaboration across the sector.
