The Indian Electrical & Electronic Manufacturers’ Association, the apex association of the Indian electrical equipment industry, today inaugurated the 13th edition of the Trafotech Global – an international conference on the Transformer industry. The three-day Conference themed ‘Made in India for Global Market’ from 4th December to 6th December in New Delhi, will bring together experts from across the transformer industry.
Speaking at the conference, Chairperson, CEA, Shri Ghanshyam Prasad, emphasised the rapidly growing demand in the transformer industry. He spoke on the need for demand projections and plans to build visibility for the industry. He said, “We are working closely with IEEMA to bring out plans and demand projections for equipment in the power industry. Our plans for 2034-35 and 2035-36 are already underway and will be announced soon.”
He highlighted that with India’s GDP growing at 7–8%, the electrical sector is expected to maintain a similar pace of around 8% in the long term. “At the back of this, we expect to double our installed capacity by 2034-35 and to meet this demand, backward integration will play a crucial role in this. Add to that the further integration required to achieve net zero. All of this will require large amounts of electrical equipment made available in a timely manner. Therefore, a clear visibility will enable us not only to reduce the lead time but in fact move towards shelf-driven mode” he noted.
Shri Prasad added that the sector has now developed clear visibility for the next five, ten, and fifteen years, creating a strong foundation for stability. These plans will also be reviewed annually.
Vikram Gandotra, President, IEEMA, remarked, “India’s electrical and industrial equipment sector is at the cusp of unprecedented growth, set to expand from USD 75 billion today to over a trillion dollars by 2047. With strong domestic demand, global supply chain diversification and more than USD 20 billion of FDI in the power sector, India is rapidly strengthening its position as a trusted global manufacturing hub. The transformer industry is witnessing robust investments of over ₹35,000 crore across OEMs and components, driven by the accelerated build-out of T&D, renewables, storage, mobility and smart grid infrastructure.”
Over the three-day program, a total of five technical sessions will be held, featuring multiple technical paper presentations by experts and practitioners from across the industry.
Trafotech Global is a dynamic forum for cross-sector dialogue, practical innovation and future-ready thinking. Active participation from across the globe has made Trafotech one of the most anticipated power transformer conferences in the world.
