The future of power is truly now at ELECRAMA. The scale of this event is breathtaking. This edition of Elecrama is bigger and better. An overwhelming response was received from the previous exhibition that resulted in the participation of new entrants who demonstrated their capabilities. ELECRAMA integrates generation, T&D companies across multiple geographies. It is the continued feedback of exhibitors and visitors that has contributed in making ELECRAMA the numero-uno power T&D forum.”

This year’s expo will give a closer view of the Indian economy, technology partnership opportunities and throw light on futuristic trends in supply chain, logistics and vendor capability assessment, new specifications and standards in India.
“India today stands at the threshold of a major shift and ELECRAMA 2010 is focusing on Indian capabilities and opportunities in the world of electrical and industrial electronics, which is amply reflected by the theme for ELECRAMA 2010 – POWER IS HERE.
