India's energy sector offers significant investment opportunities, supported by the country's ongoing economic growth and industrial expansion. With over 1,000 members, IEEMA represents manufacturers of electrical, industrial electronics, and allied equipment. Elecrama, organized annually by IEEMA, serves as a key platform for industry stakeholders to explore advancements, market trends, and business collaborations.
