E3 is a two-day event organized by the
Indian Electrical & Electronics Manufacturer’s Association (IEEMA) that
showcases on how the Eastern Region is on Energisation and Empowerment. The
event brings together Electrical Industry, Technocrats, Government, Utilities,
New Industry segments like Oil Refineries, Cement, Railways, Steel etc on the
same platform. More than 300 delegates from all over India are visiting this
mega event. IEEMA is the apex association of manufacturers of electrical,
industrial electronics and allied equipment in India. Mode. E3 brings fresh
ideas and value additions for IEEMA members and the stakeholders.
“The small north-eastern states have
big challenges of geographical and conditions and forest clearances.
Establishing 24x7 dependable power supply remains a challenge which we are
tackling by creating new benchmarks. We have taken up major electrification
projects to ensure last mile delivery of power to remote regions. The Tripura
government and other north eastern states are investing in power sector to
increase capacity generation and distribution to earn revenues. Tripura exported
160 MW of power to Bangladesh last year. We invite the industry to be with us
and share their perspectives which is very important for tackling challenges at
the ground level,” said Mr Jishnu Dev Varma, Dy Chief Minister and Power
Minister of Tripura.
“We are investing
around 17 lakh crore for generating 150GW of solar power by 2030. We need to
build a collaborative association with the electrical industry so that our
needs and requirements are met to match the international standards,” said Mr S
Suresh Kumar Addl. Chief Secretary, Government of West Bengal.
The theme of the session is Energy
Transition which holds the key to tackle global energy and climate crisis. It will be a unique opportunity IEEMA members
and stakeholders to interact with policy makers, listen to their vision about
power landscape and the opportunities therein. The focus of E3 2022 is to
explore and identify large sourcing requirement of electrical equipment of
various organizations other than the state electrical utilities. An interesting
session with CEOs of Smart Cities on the types of solutions required from the
Electrical Industry is also planned.
Mr Vipul Ray, President, IEEMA,
said, “The Government of India has an extensive plan to generate more green
power from sustainable renewable energy resources. Therefore, a modern
state-of-the-art micro grid research infrastructure is highly required in India
for carrying out extensive research in this area. Eastern India offers
tremendous potential for infrastructure development and investment
opportunities. Thus the focus of E3
would revolve around subjects like Emerging Technologies for Electrical &
Electronics Industry, smart cities and future business opportunities.”
Mr Siddharth Bhutoria, Chairman, E3
2022 said, “IEEMA is in active talks with the West Bengal Government to provide
1000-acre land near the national highway for setting up a dedicated Electrical
and Electronics Park which would also be a new age hi-tech manufacturing hub.
The proposed deep water port at Tajpur would further boost exports. This would
help us to bring in companies from across the globe in the renewable energy and
electric vehicles (EV) manufacturing sector. The focus of IEEMA is to bring in
non-traditional sectors under its fold and provide a platform to MSMEs to meet
with buyers, vendors and get acquainted with sourcing procedures. This year the
buyer-seller meet at E3 will focus exclusively on the requirement of
non-utility segment. More than 40 senior officials from various non-utility
organisations would have one-to-one meetings with sellers to discuss upcoming
requirements.”
ELECRAMA Chairman Mr Jitendra K Agarwal also apprised the delegates about phase 1 of ELERAMA space bookings where within 9 days of commencement of booking more than 600 exhibitors with around 28000 sqsm of space is already booked. Phase 2 of space bookings will begin soon.
