The Indian Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association (IEEMA) will host its maiden virtual exhibition named ‘Digielec Bharat’ to showcase the capabilities of the electrical equipment industry. It will be open from September 24-27, 2020. A two-day high-level conference titled “Transforming Business through Technology” will run concurrently from September 24-25, 2020.  

IEEMA has been working with the Government of India along with various Ministries and related organisations to find a practical and viable solution to the changing paradigm in the short, medium, and long run, keeping the interest of the industry in mind.

“We are at an inflection point, one that happens rarely, but when it does, transform the industry to a higher realm of growth and opportunity. Our dependence on our neighboring countries for imports of Electricals and Electronics had been substantially increasing and we at IEEMA were continuously taking this up with the Government to protect domestic industry against artificially cheap imports from our neighboring country. The clarion call given by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for a self-reliant India and Vocal for Local gave us the opportunity to increase our global footprint. Digielec Bharat will showcase our capabilities and preparedness for the future,” commented RK Chugh, President, IEEMA.

According to Vijay Karia, Mentor, Digielec Bharat India needs to be independent and self-reliant. Also, whatever is consumed in India should be made by Indian companies, and by Indian companies it does not mean Indian management only but it means Indian ownership. First stage of AtmaNirbhar Bharat would mean that India should stop import of materials which are manufactured or can be manufactured in India and for that a long-term policy needs to be in place. The main objective of Digielec Show is to promote exports and position indigenous electrical industry as an alternative to China.

 Added in alignment, Anil Saboo, President Elect, IEEMA, “There are so many companies around the world wanting to set up their manufacturing facility in India. This exhibition will give them that platform to come here and set up world class manufacturing facility in India.”
