Electrifying India's Power Sector
There are two parameters on which response to a tradeshow is generally judged. One, on the basis of number of general visitors coming to the show and second the quality of visitors. If we go by the latter then India Electricity Show 2009 definitely had some reasons to cheer. In spite of incessant rains, the show was attended by a sizeable number of business visitors from the power sector. The show, which was held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, from September 10-12, was organised by Ministry of Power, Govt of India and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI).
Some of the highlight of the show was it had more than 140 exhibitors including 35 participants from overseas. While Turkey participated for the first time in the show, China doubled its pavilion size for greater visibility. The exhibition which was inaugurated by Minister of State for Power, Bharatsinh Solanki, also held concurrent conference on 'Indian Power Sector: Strategies for continued Capacity addition in the challenging Global environment.’
On Day I, the conference deliberated on power sector's targets and achievements in the Eleventh Five Year Plan period, the major fuel sources and some of the important thermal and hydro projects. The session also discussed issues related to power project financing. The Day II saw discussions veering around nuclear generation, power transmission, energy efficiency and project implementation. The Day III of the conference discussed issues related to regulatory mechanism, rural electrification, equipment manufacturing and power distribution. Apart from providing a showcase of the latest products, technologies and capabilities, the exhibition also held a buyer, seller meet for companies to conduct business transactions.
