Apex industry body IEEMA (Indian Electrical & Electronics Manufacturers’ Association) has formally announced the 16th edition of ELECRAMA, the world’s largest electrical show.
ELECRAMA 2025, to be held at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida, is scheduled from February 22, 2024 to February 26, 2025, and will be based on the theme “Reimagining Energy for Sustainable Future”.
The event aims to foster dialogue and collaboration towards achieving a greener, more resilient energy ecosystem. ELECRAMA 2025 will host industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to explore cutting-edge innovations, trends, and solutions driving the sector’s growth.
Transformation of the power sector
R. K. Singh, Union Minister of Power, New & Renewable Energy, in a statement, commended IEEMA on the launch of the 16th edition of ELECRAMA 2025, “The government has transformed the power sector from power-deficient to power-sufficient by adding about 200 GW of generation capacity in the past 9 years. We have connected the whole country with a unified grid, which is capable of transferring 1,16,000 mw from one part of the country to another. All these steps are powering the future of India. ELECRAMA is a reflection of how we are powering the future. I am happy to see the new themes introduced for ELECRAMA 2025. These themes directly support the government’s long-term vision and initiatives with a focus on reimagining energy for sustainable future.”

Speaking at the launch, Ghanshyam Prasad, Chairperson & Ex-Officio Secretary, Central Electricity Authority (CEA), said “ELECRAMA is fully aligned with the industries, and I regard it as a futuristic one, because it comes at a time when we are embarking on a road of transitioning from conventional to non-conventional energy sources. And the industry is currently facing numerous challenges, including keeping the existing ones while also promoting and demonstrating the presence of new creative solutions and technologies. “
