tons of casting production annually during the next decade, reaching annual casting production of 20 million tons by 2020, if not sooner. Some Indian offi cials believe the country will far surpass that number. No other large casting producer
matches that growth. T e expansion stems from India’s large and rapidly growing economy, which has the poten- tial to raise its income per capita to 35 times current levels over the next 40 years. India benefi ts from
