ELECRAMA 2023, world’s largest electrical show by IEEMA, has kicked-off today to an electrifying start following a grand opening at the India Expo Mart, Greater Noida. The event was inaugurated by Minister of Power and New & Renewable Energy RK Singh.
Inaugurating the exhibition, he said, “In the past 5 years, we have brought great transformational changes in our industry. We are committed to being climate-friendly and we are aggressively going ahead with our Prime Minister’s belief in ensuring a healthier planet. I am pleased that the focus of ELECRAMA 2023 is on energy transition and future technology which is in line with the Government of India’s ‘Vision for India@2047’.”
He adds, “Electricity is the most significant contributor to the energy requirement of the country. I am proud to see the journey and growth of the industry. I feel ELECRAMA 2023 remains pivotal in helping us identify future challenges and subsequently find innovative solutions to overcome them.”
Kickstarting the proceedings of the 15th edition of ELECRAMA 2023, Rohit Pathak, President, IEEMA, said, “The transition to green electricity as the main source of energy has provided us with an excellent opportunity to self-reliant on energy and to lead the world on some of these new technologies with the scale India provides. Aaj Bharat AatmaNirbhar ho raha hai, aage Vishwa Bharat par Nirbhar hoga (Today, India is becoming self-dependent and, in future, the world will depend on India). We believe that these new technologies will require a lot of innovation, and hence we have created a startup platform at IEEMA called ElectraVerse Spark to allow them to ‘plug into our world of energy’ in a seamless manner.”
Talking about the evolution of the flagship event over the years, Jitendra K Agarwal, Chairman, ELECRAMA 2023, said, “The 15th edition of the mega event is bolstered with special concurrent events such as eTechNxt, World Utility Summit, ELECTRAVERSE start-up challenge, special presence of women in power, and global CEOs in attendance. Furthermore, we’re expecting 700 buyers from 75 countries in RBSM, 15000 pre-scheduled b2b meetings, and 300 buyers from utilities, railways, defence, real estate, smart cities, and large PSUs. ”
Jean Pascal Tricoire, Global CEO, Schneider Electric, said, “Our vision is aligned with India’s future goals as it continues to break new ground in the power sector. As the country’s energy landscape continues to grow, we would continue to support rising India on its exciting journey of electrification and digitization.”
Satish Pai, Managing Director, Hindalco Industries, said, “At a time when global efforts are being driven to help realise our collective vision of a sustainable future, we must embrace sustainability as a way of life before expecting it to become a way of doing business … At ELECRAMA 2023, I am expecting exhibitors to showcase their ideas and innovations to contribute towards creating a future roadmap for a sustainable future.”
The biennial electronics congregation, with ‘Reimagine Energy – For Sustainable Future’ as this year’s theme, will have the largest public showcase yet of industry innovations by over 1000 exhibitors from India and abroad occupying 1,10,000 sqm of exhibition space over the course of next five days. The much-anticipated event is expected to witness 3,50,000 footfall and over 15,000 pre-scheduled meetings between buyers and sellers.
The five-day congregation will also see national and international industry experts and policymakers deliberate upon industry challenges, innovations, and business models through a series of leadership summits and meetings. The premier showcase event will also host the world’s largest confluence of power transmission and distribution communities at the 5th Reverse Buyers Sellers Meet (RBSM) and Domestic Buyers Sellers Meet (DBSM). The mega event will also be seen focusing on the role of women in the industry, building stronger electrical systems for homes, offices, and industries, and enabling discussions on the way forward for complete electrification of railways. Digital technologies, IoT and AI-powered electrical systems, and other smart-tech solutions are being showcased at the event.
Completing 33 years of being the only industry platform of its kind, ELECRAMA 2023 is supported by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Ministry of Power, Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises, and Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises. While Uttar Pradesh is the host state partner, Germany is the country partner in the 15th edition of the initiative.
