India’s premier business event for LED and
lighting technologies - LED Expo Mumbai makes a grand comeback in the financial
capital after a hiatus of two years. Organised by Messe Frankfurt India, the three-day
business event has opened its doors in Mumbai’s Bombay Exhibition Centre today,
bringing over 175 exhibitors and over 1000 products on display.
From solar
to smart lighting - introducing market-leading innovations by over 175
Indian exhibitors, LED Expo has opened its doors in Mumbai today and aims to
promote made-in-India LED products and applications. Over 50% of the
participating brands this year are new entrants on the show floor, reinforcing the
Indian industry’s focus to strengthen domestic collaborations and capture the market
share.
Extending strong support to the platform,
Mr Shyam Sujan, Secretary General, ELCOMA (Electric Lamp and Component
Manufacturers’ Association of India) said: “India has been the fastest in the
world to convert to LED Lighting. The conventional incandescent bulbs/CFLs are
almost extinct in India where many countries are still using it. Energy
efficiency in Indian households has touched 88 percent with LED bulbs lighting
up homes due to affordable government schemes UJALA. Very shortly almost 100%
lighting will convert to LED Lighting, whereas other countries are likely to
take more than six to eight years. The LED Expo, organised by Messe Frankfurt
India has created a platform for the Indian lighting industry to network with local
stakeholders and global visitors, for business development and joint
partnerships. There is a great opportunity for visitors to see the futuristic
technology at the LED show.”
