The 13th edition of ELECRAMA held at India Expo Mart in Greater Noida from March 10 to 14 recorded a visitor turnout of more than 2.98 lakh, according to the organisers. Over 1,200 exhibitors showcased their products and services at the biggest showcase of electrical and electronics manufacturers.

Organisers said business queries of more than $1 billion were estimated at the event. ?We had a lot of visitors from more than 120 countries who experienced transformational developments taking place in India and globally,? said Vijay Karia, Chairman, ELECRAMA.

?The country has recorded rapid economic growth in recent years and is fast transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable sources to generate electricity. It is heartening to note that ELECRAMA 2018 emerged as a platform for knowledge-sharing with a strong focus on electric vehicles, Internet of Things (IoT), storage solutions and renewable energy,? he added.

Karia said the industry is aligned with government initiatives like Make in India and Power to All 24 x 7 by 2022. Manufacturers are looking forward to a favourable policy environment to capitalise on new opportunities being created by artificial intelligence, machine learning, block chain and a combination of innovation in manufacturing of electrical gadgets, equipment, machinery and energy efficiency programmes.
