ELECRAMA, the largest stand-alone showcase of the Indian Electrical and Allied Electronics Industry by IEEMA is slated to commence from February 18th to 22nd, 2023 at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida. IEEMA and its members will work together with the Government of India to achieve a 100-year partnership of electrifying, digitalizing, and greening India. The theme of ELECRAMA 2023 is “Reimagine Energy – For Sustainable Future” and will be heavily based in showcasing innovation and future technologies in many areas including Storage, Green Hydrogen, Fuel Cells, AI, and IoT. This edition will also focus on sustainability through Energy Conservation, Carbon Net Zero, and Smart Consumption.
Mr Hamza Arsiwala, President Elect, IEEMA, said, “The Government of India has taken significant strides in sustainably harnessing the massive reservoir of energy that resides in the North East region. Many hurdles have been crossed along the way and there has been steady progress. Northeast is all set to become India’s first victory in the zero emissions by 2070 goal. Clean Energy and Electricity will be at the core of this transition. We expect about $2 Trillion being invested in the sector over the next 25 years, with the share of our sector doubling as a % of India’s GDP and a 10X growth in exports by the sector. India has a golden opportunity to shift from a heavily energy importing nation to an energy neutral/exporting nation. “While the focus for ELECRAMA this time is New energies and Sustainability, we are also launching the IEEMA Start-up Challenge and creating a platform for some of the most promising ones to showcase their innovations at ELECRAMA 2023. While only the top 10-12 will get a chance to showcase at ELECRAMA, we will enable you to have a look at all the participating ones too. We need to embrace this start-up ecosystem and create a mechanism to allow them to plug into our industry/companies in a seamless manner. Think of them as our extended R&D and product development arm, and engage with them.”
Mr Jitendra Agarwal, Chairman, ELECRAMA, 2023, opined, “The 15th edition of ELECRAMA will focus mainly on displaying innovation and future technologies in a variety of fields.
