Rajasthan has emerged as the country’s solar hub after developing 10 gigawatts of capacity in solar power, according to Hamza Ariswala, president-elect of the Indian Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers’ Association (IEEMA).

Speaking at a press conference in Jaipur after IEEMA’s road show for ELECRAMA-2023, Ariswala said the state was attracting new investments in the field of renewable energy. “Indian industry has an important role to play as India accelerates towards Net Zero (with green and renewable energy as the primary source of energy) and enhances the quality of life of its citizens,” he said.

IEEMA, the apex association of the Indian electrical equipment manufacturing industry, has hosted an interactive session with senior officials of Rajasthan’s power sector along with a roadshow for the 15th edition of ELECRAMA in the state capital.

ELECRAMA is slated to be held February 18-22 at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida. The theme is ‘Re-imagine Energy for Sustainable Future’ and will showcase innovation and future technologies in areas including storage, green hydrogen, fuel cells, Artificial Intelligence, and Internet of Things (IoT), said IEEM president Rohit Pathak.

ELECRAMA aims to secure business inquiries worth $6 billion from exhibitors and visitors from over 70 countries including pavilions from Canada, France, Germany, Romania, Taiwan and the UK, its chairman, Jitendra Agarwal, said.
