The fourth day of ELECRAMA 2023, the biennial electricals and electronics showcase of the Indian Electrical & Electronic Manufacturers’ Association (IEEMA), witnessed an exciting interaction session with Shri Piyush Goyal, Hon’ble Minister of Commerce & Industry, Govt. of India on 21st February 2023.

During the session, Goyal urged IEEMA to facilitate new programs and initiatives in small cities of north-eastern India, including Jabalpur, among others. He further noted that the Indian electrical industry has already done exports worth $10 million and aims to reach the $25 million mark in the future.

In addition, Goyal recommended the US and UK to exhibit events akin to ELECRAMA 2023 to contribute more efficiently towards the world's sustainability needs. The ongoing edition of ELECRAMA focuses on reimagining energy for a sustainable future. Shri Piyush Goyal stressed the need for quality over quantity, not only as a way of life but also as a defining factor for the future of this ever-growing industry.

Rohit Pathak, President of IEEMA, emphasized that, in the next 25 years, 50% of global energy consumption will happen through renewable sources. Given the country’s preparedness and continuing efforts towards creating a future roadmap for energy transformation, he feels it's time for India to establish itself as a major hub for global power requirements. He further added that institutions should promote sustainable practices to adapt to the industry's major paradigm shift.

The ceremony was also graced by the presence of 12 start-up firm leaders whose organizations were shortlisted for this year's much-anticipated ‘Electraverse Spark’ competition. The open interaction with global industry leaders and experts in attendance made the session quite engrossing.

ELECRAMA has grown from 250 exhibitors to 1,350 exhibitors over the past 14 editions since its inception in 1990. This year's event puts more emphasis on sustainability and green activities in order to create a greener nation and have a good influence on the world.

ELECRAMA 2023 has buyers from over 75 countries, making it a significant platform for companies in the electrical and electronics industry to showcase their latest innovations and ideas.
