Contribution of the Indian electrical equipment industry to the Indian economy will double, and can even triple, in the next 10 years, according to Mr S V Ranganath, Chief Secretary, Government of Karnataka. He stated this at the launch function of ELECRAMA-2014 at Bangalore, organized by the Indian Electrical & Electronics Manufacturers’ Association (IEEMA), the apex association of electrical equipment manufacturers in India.

“Indian electrical equipment industry has done well, but it not performing up to its full potential, which is far greater than what it has achieved. We need to give confidence to international investors. The growth rate of the country is the growth rate of power sector” said Mr S V Ranganath. He expressed the Government of Karnataka’s full support to ELECRAMA-2014 being organized in Bangalore in January 2014 and said that “ELECRAMA will also showcase Bangalore as an international destination for major events. It is win – win situation for both”.

The 11th edition of the world’s largest power transmission and distribution (T&D) confluence, ELECRAMA-2014,to be held at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) between January 8-12, 2014, will showcase the global competitiveness of Indian products and the capability of local manufacturers to develop world class engineering products at competitive costs.ELECRAMA-2014 will be at the heart of India’s infotech nucleus and the technology superhub city – Bangalore, for the first time.ELECRAMA-2014 expo in Bangalore will be a generation ahead, in terms of core services, features and amenities – highest quality on par with international standards.

Mr. J.G. Kulkarni, President, IEEMA, said, “We are extremely pleased with the support promised by the Karnataka State Government for our biennial flagship event to be held at the software city of Bangalore in early 2014. ELECRAMA-2014 will scale new heights and surpass all previous editions. We have taken a unique theme of ‘Go Global’ which will focus on global competitiveness of products manufactured in India. We have got the necessary infrastructure and the capability to develop world class engineering products at competitive costs.”

By showcasing the ‘Go Global’ theme, India will be targeting a 5% share of global trade in electrical equipment in the next ten years in order to help exports reach a level of $25 billion. IEEMA will also encourage African countries to participate in the forthcoming ELECRAMA-2014 event at Bangalore aimed at boosting electrical equipment exports.

Mr. SanjeevSardhana, Chairman, ELECRAMA 2014, said, “Africa has about 54 countries with a combined population of around 6.5 billion people. However, electrification in these countries is barely 30% which means there is scope of the rest 70% to get electrified. We see a large untapped opportunity for our electrical equipment exports going ahead with the ELECRAMA 2014 theme of Go Global. I am extremely confident that the event will throw open a wide-ranging opportunity for African counterparts at ELECRAMA 2014 which will showcase the global competitiveness of Indian products”.

The five day event at ELECRAMA 2014 has been designed to allow participants to experience its multilateral approach to exhibitions and allied events.Among the concurrent events lined up, ELECRAMA 2014 will unveil the 9thTrafotech International Conference on Transformers scheduled to be held on January 9-10, 2014. The TRAFOTECH 2014, held once in four years, will provide transformer designers, manufacturers, users and consultants a common platform to review the latest advances and futuristic trends, share operational experiences and discuss the requirements of transformers for smart grid systems.

The ChangeXchange 2014 – 2nd Reverse Buyer-Seller Meet (RBSM), supported by the Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, will allow participants from the African nations to meet over 1,000 suppliers from India. The ChangeXchange 2014 will be the biggest meeting place of international buyers who plan to source electrical products and equipment from India.

The CEOs summit involving giants of the global electrical equipment Industry will feature live panel discussion with eminent experts brainstorming on current challenges and opportunities in T & D Business. At the international T&D conclave event, stakeholders from the global power, transmission and distribution sector will participate and present their views.

The event will also feature Engineer Infinite 2014, through which ELECRAMA 2014 will continue its search for new talent in the field of electrical and allied engineering. Engineer Infinite 2014 will be a pan India competition for the third and final year students looking for innovative solutions in the electrical T&D domain.
