THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA SMT. PRATIBHA DEVISINGH PATIL SPEECH
|
|
Ladies and Gentlemen,
|
|
The 7th international Plastics Exhibition and Conference, which commences today, is an important event. I have been informed that about 20 countries have set up pavilion and that there are likely to be around 1,00,000 business visitors. This initiative provides a platform for stakeholders to meet and to enhance their business prospects through joint ventures and technology partnerships.

|
The need for better quality of life has been driving the human race, through the ages, to come up with new improved materials and create value added commodities. Over the years, there has also been a shift from conventional material based products, to chemicals based products, due to the need for conservation of natural resources, energy efficiency, innovative design and cost saving measures. Petrochemicals, along with its downstream products like plastics, have brought many benefits to human kind. Synthetic polymers, also know as plastics, have been one of the most versatile commodity materials invented in the twentieth century. Plastic with its inertness, lightweight and cost effectiveness, has proved to be a material that lends itself to multiple uses. This downstream petrochemical product permeates our daily lives in many aspects and caters to the needs of textiles and clothing, agriculture, packaging, infrastructure, healthcare, furniture, automobiles, information technology, power, electronics and tele-communications, and a host of other articles of daily and specialized usages.
|
|
The global demand for plastics since 1990 has grown at an average of 5.5 percent annually. I have been informed that global consumption reached about 200 million tons during 2008, with per capita consumption levels of 30 kilograms. North America and West Europe have high per capita consumption between 80 to 100 kilograms, while in China it is about 25 kilograms and in India around 5.5 kilograms. This sector is expected to grow at about 5 percent annually up to 2015, with the highest growth rates in Asia. Rapid urbanization and growth in retail business in populous countries like India will result in high growth performance for the plastics sector. There are currently more than 50,000 units across the across the country with a turnover in excess of Rs. 80,000 crore. The India export performance has also been robust. The India plastic industry is relatively labour intensive and it is this feature of the industry, with a large number in the tiny, small and medium scale sectors, that has generated employment. During the coming few years, polymer consumption in India is likely to go up to 11 million tons from the current level of around 5.8 million tons, as we expand our infrastructure.
|
|
Government has announced a National Policy on Petrochemicals, the main objectives of which are to increase investments and competitiveness, both in the upstream and downstream sectors, to promote research and development and to create adequate skilled manpower, with an overall objective to achieve environmentally sustainable growth in the petrochemical sector. I am told that Indian industry is gearing up to meet these challenges. I am sure that with a vast talented and skilled manpower; and well-established and globally reputed institutions; we will take major strides in Research and Development activities in areas of material development, like high performance plastics and biodegradable polymers. We need to lay emphasis on development of value added, quality petrochemical products at globally competitive prices, using eco-friendly processes and technologies.
|
|
Due emphasis needs to be placed on the impact of plastics on the environment. Plastics are chemically inert by nature, but it is the question of degradability, which has attracted severe criticisms on its applications all around. Their non-degradability, makes them one of the negatively targeted materials in the eyes of environmentalists. Even though it is estimated that more than 30 percent to 40 percent of plastic waste generated, is re-cycled into useful products, yet we must continue to lay emphasis on waste management. Plastic articles strewn all across the country – in its hills and rivers and in streets – have caused general public ire and environmental harm. It is this indiscriminate littering, which is the basic reason for concerns regarding the waste generated. We need to adopt a responsible approach in the use of plastics. Effective waste management of plastics, by adopting proper recycling technology, I s the need of the hour to deal with the manace of plastics waste. To a large extent, the lack of appropriate mechanism or segregation and disposal of plastic waste is one of the main problems. Plastics waste is not waste per se, and can be treated as “Wealth”, by recycling them into value added products. There is thus a need for concerted efforts by industry and civil society for bringing awareness about the proper use and disposal of plastic waste and for developing suitable mechanisms for systematic waste collection and recycling.
|
|
I understand that modern technologies exist which could address this issue. I would appeal to all present today, to take inputs from this exhibition for adopting suitable technologies for effective waste management and cleaning up the environment. The Recycling Parks concept could be developed by the participation of the Central and state government agencies, the industry, local self-government and civic bodies.
|
|
I would like to convey my good wishes to the Plastindia Foundation for their work in promoting the development of the Indian industry. I would compliment them for their efforts in organizing exhibitions, including this Exhibition to showcase Indian Industry as “The Emerging Global Sourcing Hub of Plastics”.
|
|
I wish Plastindia 2009 a great success.
|
Thank you,
Jai Hind.

SHRI. RAM VILAS PASWAN SPEECH
|
|
Hon’ble Union Minister for Chemicals, Fertilizers & Steel On the occasion of inauguration of Plastindia 2009 at New Delhi.
|
|
Her Excellency, the President of India, Smt.Pratibha Devisingh Patilji, Shri Handique ji, Minister of State for Chemicals, Fertilizers & Mines, Shri Bijoy Chatterjee, Secretary, Department of Chemicals & Petrochemicals, Shri Arvind Mehta, President, Plastindia Foundation, Shri Mahendra Patel, Shri Nikhil Meswani, Shri L.K.Singh, Shri Amar Seth, friends from abroad, distinguished Guests, Member of the Media, Friends, Ladies & Gentlemen,
|
|
At the outset I express my sincere gratitude to Madam President for having consented to be here amongst us today.
|
|
I am happy to be here with you on the occasion of the inauguration of Plastindia 2009. This years’ event is being projected to surpass all previous events. The likely presence of hundred thousand business visitors for this event and with 20 country pavilions set up, shows that the Indian Petrochemical and Plastic industry has come of age.
|
|
We know that petrochemical industry and its downstream processing units, viz. Plastic Processed Articles and Synthetic Fibre Processing are major contributors to employment generation and industrial development, thereby serving a vital need of the economy. A vibrant downstream processing sector is essential for sustaining the investment in the upstream petrochemical industry.
|
|
How strong is India in this sector and what are our weaknesses? We know that our strengths lie in a Strong Domestic Growth Performance, an ever increasing per capita income, assured supply of labour, a diversified manufacturing base, a vibrant downstream industry, a few integrated complexes, capability to introduce world class products and, above all, possession of a Quality Human Resource and R&D base. But we are also aware that our polymer plants operate at high feedstock costs, high cost of power/finance, relatively high rates of indirect taxes, fragmented sub-optimal size downstream processing capacities and lack of world class infrastructures, which we are in the process of improving. Coupled with these weaknesses we need to compete with countries which have the advantage of low cost feedstock. In addition we also face more competitively priced finished goods, ever reducing import duty structure, volatility in polymer and plastic prices due to crude oil price variations and environmental concerns.
|
|
The Government has announced a National Policy on Petrochemicals, the main objectives of which are to increase investments and competitiveness both in the upstream and downstream sectors, encourage modernization of downstream processing units, promote research and development, development of adequate skilled manpower, etc. with an overall objective to achieve environmentally sustainable and healthy growth in the petrochemical sector. We have also put in place a policy on Petroleum, Chemicals and Petrochemicals Investment Regions (PCPIRs) which will enable us to have global scale infrastructures. Six proposals have been received from AP, Gujarat, West Bengal, Orissa, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Of these, three are shortly to be considered by Cabinet. Out of these, AP, Gujarat and WB have already been cleared by the High Power Committee under the Chairmanship of the Cabinet Secretary.
|
|
I am informed that there had been a growth of 12% in total polymers during 2007 in comparison to 5.6% during the previous year. The projections for 2008 were high but perhaps this rate has gone down due to adverse impact of the global economic meltdown. The most heartening factor has been that the Indian petrochemical industry has bounced back and the performance during December 2008 and January 2009 are justifications in this regard. What is most heartening is that the downstream plastic sector, which forms the backbone of employment generation in this sector, has retained its potential to grow. I am confident that we with a mature capital market, liberalized foreign investment policy and regular fiscal and trade policy reforms will see a healthy plastic sector.
|
|
In this context I am happy to announce the new initiatives being taken by Government.
|
|
The Government will set up a recycling centre at New Delhi to address the problem of plastic wastes. This will be carried out in collaboration with the State Government, CIPET, Industry, civic bodies, and non-government agencies, in a Public Private Partnership mode. Emerging technology options will be adopted.
|
|
The Government has approved a national programme in collaboration with UNIDO for technology upgradation of downstream plastic industry including recycling of plastic wastes. This programme is being implemented through CIPET.
|
|
The Government will also set up high end testing and certifying centres in large polymer consumption areas. This will be done in collaboration with Bureau of Indian Standards, Central Institute of Plastic Engineering and Technology, Industry, State Governments/Central Departments and Ministries etc. in PPP mode. Emerging needs of industry for various testing & quality assurance requirements will be considered.
|
|
|
Friends, Plastics in Environment is a serious issue as it has an impact on consumers and manufacturers both. I propose to have a meeting with the State Governments to discuss the implementation of regulations for use of plastic bags and disposal of plastic waste.
|
|
Today, as we stand here on the occasion of another global event on plastics and petrochemicals, we need to resolve to make India a vibrant economy with a strong chemicals and petrochemicals sector. We all have a role to play and I am happy that in this context the role being played by Plastindia Foundation over the years has been praiseworthy. This apex body of major Associations, Organisations and Institutions connected with plastics including Government and Semi Government Organisations, has been a major torch bearer of the Indian plastics industry. Such initiatives add to the Nation’s progress. I am sure that one day India will truly emerge as the Global Sourcing Hub of Plastics and in these, events like Plastindia 2009 will have a major role to play.
|
|
I am happy that Plastindia Foundation has been taking this initiative over the years to bring together the best in this field globally, which has provided a platform for our domestic industrialists to share experiences with their global counterparts and I compliment them in their efforts. I wish the Plastindia 2009 a great success.
|
|
Jai Hind.

SHRI. B K HANDIQUE SPEECH
|
|
Dear Friends,
|
|
It is a pleasure and a privilege as well to be amongst you today in this summit meet. As in the year 2007, I do hope that India-China Plastics Industry Summit 2009 will be a grand success. The Guangzhou Summit the Chinaplas 2007 the first of its kind, which gave me the privilege to address in the exalted company of His Excellency Mr. Chen Shineng, Minister and President, China Light Industry Council had a purposeful theme “Technology Transfer : Opportunities and Challenges. That was indeed a significant break through in plastics sector of India-China bilateral trade in general. It was an occasion to keep abreast of latest developments in plastic and see first hand the state-of-the art Technology in the plastic sector.
|
|
The immediate backdrop to the Guangzhou Summit-2007 was the summit level meeting between Hon’ble Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and His Excellency President Hu Jintao in November 2006 sending an unusually up beat and development message to the world that India and China are partners in peace and progress. President Hu listed the development of Multi Lateral Co-operation for crating a Multi Polar world, and Prime Minister Dr. Singh highlighted that he would like “India and China to work together as good neighbors and partners and develop together in a mutually supportive manner.”
|
|
Such a backdrop is a tremendous and an inspiring incentive morals booster in trade and commerce and plastics industry has already carved for itself a niche in India-China Bilateral trade. The gains achieved in 2006 and 2007 are further consolidated in 2008. And the year 2009 we begin with the continued thining for economic interdependence and a shared quest for development. And we more ahead from the theme of “Technology Transfer opportunities and Challenges” to the theme of “Business opportunities: trade complementation”. It is a transition from academic exploration to an action oriented agenda. The time has come to play a more proactive and better co-ordinated role. And bilateral co-operation in trade and commerce is one of the areas of strategic partnership. Let plastic Industry in India and China play a significant an shared role in this direction and enhance the strategic partnership between the two countries.
|
|
It is acclaimed by all that the contribution of India and China to the Plastics Industry worldwide is a remarkable growth story. Exchange of information knowledge and technology between these two countries will only further this repid growth. From manufacturing plastics machinery to implementing various applications, India and China are playing the role of torch bearers for the world to follow and progress.
|
|
To me the most encouraging recent developments in India-China ties is the rapid increase in bilateral trade, with a more healthy contribution from the India Plastic Sector. Bilateral trade between the two countries soared to US $38.7 billion in 2007. During our Hon’ble Prime Minsiter Manmohan Singh’s trip, in 2008 to Beijing, the bilateral trade target was revised to achieve US $60 billion to be achieved by the end of 2010. This brings across a great opportunity for the Indian Plastics Industry, to further their strengths and use the opportunities and compliment trade opportunities, to transform the entire business strategy between India and China. The buoyant Indian Plastics Industry is looking to double the consumption in the next 3 years and with opportunities for growth pre-eminent in several sectors, this summit assumes greater importance in terms of transfer to technologies between the two countries and trade complementation.
|
|
With the Indian Plastics per capita consumption set to double by 2012, and the considerable scope for growth in the Plastics Industry in growing economies, the continued process of trade expansion between India & China assumes a significant role. It is in this backdrop, that Plastindia Foundation & CII with China Plastics Processing Industry Association & Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd. Hongkong are organizing this India-China Plastics Industry Summit 2009 today.
|
|
This has brought together the plastic industry of India & China for mutual cooperation and business promotion. I am glad that a large contingent from the Indian and Chinese Plastics fraternity are attending this summit today.
|
|
The Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals Government of India has announced the National policy on Petrochemicals. The policy aims to increase the competitiveness of the downstream plastic processing industry and achieve environmentally sustainable growth though innovation, plastic waste management & recycling. The increasing demand for plastic products helps in generating new entrepreneurs, increasing scales of operation with use of advanced technology. This also leads to the increasing demand for trained manpower development. Further we have put in place a policy for the establishment of Petroleum, Chemical and Petrochemicals Investment Region (PCPIR). PCPIR aims to provide state of the art infrastructure and support that can boost manufacturing, augmenting exports and generate employment, PCPIR policy will provide a sustained, transparent and investment friendly policy and facility regime that would encourage production for both domestic and world market. The downstream plastic processing industry will pay an important role in bringing in value addition and economic scale plastic processed articles.
|
|
The extremely competitive global scales of operation and the technology adopted by the Chinese in the Chemicals and Petrochemicals sector are worth studying; Further as informed China has a made a significant contribution in Plastic waste management initiatives, plastics in agriculture and other emerging areas, which are worth emulating. There is a large potential for India and China to share their experiences in developing a globally sustainable growth in manufacturing trading and technology transfers.
|
|
I take the opportunity to congratulate the Plastindia Foundation I Confederation of India Industry, China Plastics Processing Industry Association & Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd. Hong Kong and others for all this initiative in past as well as such future endeavors. I once again complement Plastindia Foundation, China Plastic Processing Industry association along with CII and other organizers, co-organizers for the India China Plastic Industry summit 2009 at this historical city of New Delhi.
|
|
With these observations I have great pleasure in declaring India-China Plastic Industry Summit 2009.
|
|
Thanking You.

SHRI. ARVIND MEHTA'S SPEECH
|
|
Respected President Of India, Smt. Pratibha Devisingh Patilji,
|
|
Respected Shri Ram Vilas Paswanji, Shri Handiqueji, Shri Bijoy Chatterjiji, Shri Nikhilbahi, Shri Mahendrabhai, my dear colleagues on the dais, Guests from the Plastics Fraternity, Ladies And Gentlemen,
|
|
On behalf of myself and members of the Managing Committee of Plastindia Foundation, I extend to you all a very, very hearty welcome to Plastindia 2009 – The 7th International Plastics Exhibition & Conference.
|
|
We are grateful to the President of India for accepting our invitation, to inaugurate this mega event. Madam, President - The plastics industry of India is honoured by your presence and recognition!
|
|
A very hearty welcome to Shri Ram Vilas Paswanji, whose support has been a pillar of strength to the Industry. It was through his hands that the Industry saw the release of the Petrochemical Policy. The DCPC, has been very supportive to the Industry.
|
|
Plastics play a very significant but silent role in our daily lives. It is a common mans product. It is a scientific product which is used in every walk of life making life comfortable for everyone. In the 21st century, no invention is possible without plastics.
|
|
Plastindia 2009 is no longer an exhibition. It is a movement driven by the vibrant spirit of industrialists of the plastics industry of India. The glorious past and the confident present of the Plastic Industry comes with a promising future. Today the per capita consumption of plastics in India is only 6 kilos, against the world average of 27 kilos. The per capita consumption of plastics is more than 100 kilos in developed countries.
|
|
While the global melt down has had its impact on certain sectors, which has also impacted plastics, nothing really can stop the inherent momentum of this industry which is poised to make India the 3rd largest consumer of plastics by 2012, next to US and China.
|
|
The industry is growing at 12 to 15% per annum and the exports have witnessed a new surge in the last few years. The last year alone has seen exports have reached a figure USD 3.6 billion.
|
|
The success of Plastindia 2009 is due to unprecedented global marketing activities spread over 40 countries, and local marketing spread over 50 cities in 26 states by Plastindia Foundation and its overseas Associates.
|
|
Plastindia 2009 is a platform of enormous size to ensure vast business opportunities at a scale witnessed never before. This has resulted in 1485 exhibitors occupying over 77,000 sq.metres of space with 475 overseas exhibitors. All these three figures are landmark individually and have been achieved for the first time in the history of Plastindia. A big thank you to all.
|
|
The enthusiastic response was such that even if Pragati Maidan had 40% more space, it would have been occupied by Plastindia 2009.
|
|
Last but not the least Plastindia 2009 has been a result of the untiring efforts of Plastindia Foundation led by over 250 honorary industrialists of the industry. They have put in a lot of work to bring to you this mega event. Plastindia exhibitions are a organized in a unique way and it is the only one of its kinds in the world. This is what makes Plastindia 2009 truly an event by the industry and for the industry.
|
|
I wish you all to have a fruitful experience at Plastindia 2009.
|
|
Thank you.

SHRI. NIKHIL MESWANI SPEECH
|
|
Friends from media, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, The year 2008 dawned on a euphoric note of high growth and robust optimism but eventually ended with one of the gloomiest global economic outlook. I would say this is the largest economic crisis in a global World. We in particular are confronted with a confluence of global economic slowdown and petrochemical down cycle. This has impacted the industry confidence like that of a coconut tree.
|
|
Global Turmoil:
|
|
While advanced economies are caught up in worst ever economic crisis since Great Depression, developing world is showing high degree resilience and vitality. The US, Japan, Australia and a section of EU are officially in recession. It would be surprising to note that current consumption and imports of BRIC economies combined is more than the US. Today combined GDP of Japan, China and Korea is more than GDP of Britain, France and Germany put together. Countries like India and China are showing respectable growth at around 7% after having withered the initial shock of global economic melt-down. Crude prices have declined from a peak of $147 in mid-July’08 to a low of $33 recently. This decline in oil prices may slow Middle East economies but it will, at the same time, reduce inflationary pressures on consumers like India who are net oil importers.
|
|
India – The Future is here:
|
|
Young population, large domestic consumption, comfortable forex reserves, large and fast growing services sector has helped India to tide over the current global turmoil. The working-age population of US and China are projected to shrink and India will have World's largest working population. This would not only help create wealth but also constitute a large market. I am sure India will become richer before becoming older. With over a billion people striving to uplift the “Quality of Life”, it will certainly provide a major boost to Indian Plastic Industry. Indian plastic processing industry added nearly 1.5 million tonnes of new capacity during 2007-08. In first half of this fiscal we have added nearly a million tonne of new capacity. This amply demonstrates our vitality. Within Indian economy there are “Super growth” sectors. These sectors address common man’s needs in the areas of agriculture, food packaging, housing, infrastructure, health & medicare. Individually they have potential to double plastic consumption atleast twice in a decade. However onus of tapping these opportunities lie with Indian plastic industry ie, all of us.
|
|
Challenges:
|
|
In the prevailing business and economic milieu I see two major challenges. The swiftness with which Indian Plastic industry adjusts to changing global environment will decide its future. Volatility in currency and feedstock prices that we witnessed in the last few months is here to stay. It is for us to face it or bow down. Developing innovative and high value-added products, re-engineering the product profile, conformance to global standards and streamlining of operations to improve profitability would be imperative. However developing niche products and optimising the commodity products will help minimise the effects of volatile prices and uncertain market conditions. Above all a change of mindset is necessary to ride this economic challenge. Our mantra should be “Never compromise long term benefits for short term gains”. Consolidation also should be an area of high priority. Major players are seizing the opportunities and companies are focusing more on their core competencies. Countless number of mergers & acquisitions will lead to new faces, increased competition and greater financial discipline. India occupies a strategic geographical location. Present right in centre of large markets in Asia and feedstock rich region of Middle East, the country offers immense opportunities for Indian plastics processing industry. India must leverage its inherent strengths of global competitiveness in terms of effective productivity and intellectual capabilities to transform the country into a strong manufacturing base and a Global service and Knowledge hub. I am confident that Indian Plastic Industry can seize these opportunities and grow.
|
|
PLASTINDIA 2009:
|
|
PLASTINDIA 2009 offers an excellent platform to global plastic industry to showcase the latest developments and innovation. The exhibition has always been a centre of attraction. The event this year has kept up with the past tradition of improvising over previous events. My hearty congratulations to Sh. Mahendrabhai and the NEC team for taking PLASTINDIA 2009 to such heights and to Sh. Arvindbhai for his untiring efforts in making this happen. PLASTINDIA is one of the most coveted global events of our industry. With many new initiatives taken up this time, it has raised the bar for such future events.
|
|
Conclusion:
|
Ladies and gentlemen, Let me conclude by revisiting thoughts of Reliance Founder Chairman and my beloved uncle Sh. Dhirubhai Ambani who always prodded us - “Pursue your goals even in the face of difficulties, and convert adversities into opportunities. If you work with determination, success will follow.” I wish you all a very successful PLASTINDIA 2009.
Thank You.

SHRI. MAHENDRA PATEL'S SPEECH
|
|
Your excellency President of India Smt. Pratibha Devisingh Patil, Shri Ram Vilas Paswanji, Shri B. K. Handique, dignitaries on the dais, friends from the Plastic Industry, well-wishers and our family members.
|
|
Today is the ‘D’ day for which we have been working the last three years. I have been very fortunate to work with great team of highly motivated plastic industry people. This really proves that Plastindia is an exhibition of the plastic industry, by the plastic industry and for the plastic industry. I am sure all of you will enjoy this show as much as we have enjoyed in planning and executing it. I am sure that there will be a great response for the business. When we started planning for Plastindia 2009, things were up beat. In the recent past, the world has gone through a bit of a dip. Despite the dip it is very heartening to note the tremendous response Plastindia 2009 has received. 1512 exhibitors of whom 470 overseas exhibitors.
|
|
Looking back, it was like a magic to accommodate the ever increasing requirements. Plastindia 2006 occupied about 62000 sq.mtrs. This time we are occupying more than 77,000 sq.mtrs.
|
|
The lady of the house has a unique knack of finding space for all that comes into the house because she is a great space manager. In this context, we are very fortunate that ITPO has a lady Chairperson, Mrs. Sheila Bhide. When we started, we were looking at 65,000 sq.mtrs and this space requirement gradually kept increasing. Our demands for more space with ITPO kept increasing. And finally we are at the figure of 77,000 sq.mtrs. Every time we asked for more space. Mrs. Bhide found the space for us, some how. Next time we will surely find some more space when we work together with ITPO.
|
|
It is very appropriate at the Plastindia 2009 is being inaugurated by Her Excellency the President of India. Plastic is a material very commonly used by the masses. It is not possible to imagine life without plastic. The misguided image of plastic needs to be improved and we need to educate people that plastics are very useful. If some Chinese milk has melamine it does not mean that every Chinese cow is bad.
|
|
Just because a few people litter plastic bags it does not mean that all plastics is bad. We must try to educate everybody concerned.
|
|
Plastindia 2009 has a special pavilion for Recycling of Plastics where there will be live demonstration of recycling of plastic waste. This waste will be collected from processors and machinery manufacturers exhibiting at Plastindia 2009 which will be re-processed into raw material and pallets.
|
|
There are also trips being organized for students from various institutes including IIT’s to visit the exhibition. There are almost 700 students registered and they will be having a special presentation and programme to understand and appreciate what plastics are all about, the meaning of plastics, benefits of plastics and the goodness of plastics.
|
|
PROPLAST in Plastindia 2009 is housed in 3 pavilions. Plastic processors will showcase processed goods, new applications and new ideas of using plastic in novel fashions. I urge all of you, including the machinery people to visit PROPLAST. This time the processors have come out with some brilliant ideas and products.
|
|
An initiative at Plastindia 2009 is the Energy Saving Pavilion where plastics in the Energy saving will be exhibited. Energy today is the most important subject now in terms of industry efficiency and costs. The End User Pavilion is yet another initiative at Plastindia 2009 where MNC’s who buy plastics will seek suppliers for their requirements.
|
|
In whole the show is very well organized and if there are any shortcomings, I take the blame and I apologize in advance. I think my team has done a fantastic job.
|
|
I thank you all for being here and request you to give Team Plastindia 2009 a big hand!
