Extending support to this premier platform, Honourable Minister Mr. Chandrashekhar Bawankule, Energy, News & Renewable Energy State Excise Government of Maharashtra shared: “IEE Expo is a platform for the building and vertical transportation industry to meet, share and showcase their innovative solutions and technology with relevant decision makers. Elevators and escalators play an important role in the ever growing skyline of Indian cities. Due to rapid urbanisation, India’s elevator and escalator market is the world’s second largest. With this high demand comes the need for innovations in elevator technology and design for energy efficient to reduce power consumption and improve passenger’s safety and comfort. Now we need to work to run the elevator solely on solar power with the objective to save energy.”
IEE Expo has drawn strong support from Government of Maharashtra as well as key industry bodies such as CREDAI MCHI, Department of Electrical Inspectorate in India and Bureau of Indian Standard who will also be present at the fair for one-on-one industry engagement on innovation and safety aspects.
