Apex industry body Indian Electrical & Electronics Manufacturers’ Association (IEEMA), on October 11, 2022, hosted an interactive session with members of the Northern Region. The event also acted as a curtain raiser for the 15th edition of ELECRAMA.
ELECRAMA, the largest stand-alone showcase of the Indian Electrical and Allied Electronics Industry by IEEMA is slated to commence from February 18, 2023 to February 22, 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 energy storage, green hydrogen, fuel cells, AI, and IoT. This edition will also focus on sustainability through energy conservation, carbon net zero, and smart consumption.
ELECRAMA 2023 will also host a series of events and exhibitors under the marquee event viz. World Utility Summit, eTechnxt, Change X Change, RBSM (Reverse Buyers & Sellers Meet), DBSM (Domestic Buyer Seller Meet) and Buildelec.
Dominant form of energy
Vinamra Agarwal, Chairman, IEEMA Northern Region cited, “The energy transition currently underway is propelling electricity as a dominant form of energy so much so that very shortly energy will be synonymous with electricity. There is a huge business potential riding on the increasing relevance of EVs, charging infra, RE and green hydrogen, and energy storage. The transition of the transportation sector from the fossil fuel-driven sector to the clean energy-driven sector would be a key to the energy goals of the country. The upcoming 15th edition of ELECRAMA 2023 will mainly focus on such opportunities and position India as the fulcrum of futuristic technologies and solutions required for achieving sustainable growth.”
Futuristic technologies on display
On the occasion, Jitendra K Agarwal, Chairman, ELECRAMA stated, “The 15th edition of ELECRAMA will focus mainly on displaying innovation and future technologies in a variety of fields. For the industry’s growth and success, certain areas present unlimited business opportunities in the future including start-ups and new businesses where massive capital investments are being made i.e. railways, metro, airport, defense, smart cities, buildings, and the EV ecosystem; small, medium, and micro-businesses should be able to participate in the global supply chain as well; to reinforce the core of transmission and distribution, electrical products and equipment must be reliable, high-quality, and safe; this speaks volumes of the scale of the event that it is. Needless to say, this vision will necessitate right skilling through talent up-gradation, which will be ELECRAMA’s primary priority. With the beginning of global energy transitions, we envision a bright future for our industry, as electricity will be the prominent type of energy.”

Strong membership in north India
Ms. Charu Mathur, Director General of IEEMA, commented, one of the primary reason to be here for this curtain raiser is the good membership base in the northern region comprising LV, MV T&D equipment like switchgears transformers, panels, meters to name a few. Some of them are good exporters across the globe. Through ELECRAMA we aim showcase India’s strength to engage more deeply with the rest of the world. We will be focusing on connecting the equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers to the key decision makers and end customers like utilities, EPCs, private power producers and adding our MSME units to global value chains.”
