The situation for container glass in India is reported. With an abundant supply of indigenous raw materials and cheap labour, as well as considerable investment potential and a large domestic market, India is not only the Southern Asian region's largest manufacturer of glass containers, it is also the most efficient one. In recent years, the country has developed its raw materials sources significantly. Despite wanting for adequate investment in the development of the mining sector, and generally slow progress in modernisation of raw material processing industries, the industry has nevertheless been able to cater to the country's steadily expanding raw material requirements.
