Fuelled by a high level of demand, the Indi- ans have been the architects of their own growth. Here at PETPlanet, we too will be focusing on India this year. We will have our own stand at the 4th PET + Drink Tech Asia 2010 in Chennai from 27th to 29th August. This is the meeting point for the whole of the beverages and PET community in India. In November the “Drink Technology India 2010” (dti) exhibi- tion comes to town in Mumbai. This is traditionally where the international engineering companies exhibit their latest developments. Many of them will be coming from the brewing technology sector. PETPlanet, as partners of the exhibition organisers, will be represented here also with our own stand. Our special supplement on PETPlanet India is enclosed inside this issue. With detailed on-site reports we have tried to capture the atmosphere and excitement among the regional manufacturers and bottlers. Pepsi, Jaipura, Bisleri and AMD are just some of the delights to look forward to. If you did not find the special supplement in your envelope you can still browse through the issue on-line at www.india. petpla.net Yours Alexander Büchler
