Keep your electricity flowing & business growing
Uninterrupted power supply is the goal of every power transmission and distribution company, but many problems lie in the path of achieving it. These problems can lead to unnecessary shutdowns, and can cause huge monetary and man-hour losses. To help power companies achieve highest efficiency, FLIR brings a wide range of thermal imaging cameras and T&M products.
FLIR’s wide range of products for predictive and preventive maintenance
Substation Thermal Image
These products help in detecting hot spots from a safe distance, avoiding unwanted shutdowns, identifying hazardous SF6 gas leakage, monitoring high voltage electrical substations continuously from remote location, etc.

From the President’s Desk
Dear Friends, In April issue I spoke about how trade wars portended a slowdown globally. Also how China was facing the lowest growth in decades in its effort to control the burgeoning debts. The world was staring at “synchronised slowbalisationâ€? There has been change of course in China since. It has chosen to reverse the slowdown - or at least arrest the same - by introducing a stimulus of proportions far bigger than expected. It has issued almost 180 bn USD local government bonds mainly to spend infra bonds. This has been supplemented by USD 300 billion cut in VAT so that reduced cost will enable companies to have more investible surplus. This is also aimed at private sector as distinct from state sector emphasis of earlier stimulus. In Europe and US there are mixed signs with plans to increase bank rates not in the agenda for the time being. In fact, DURXQG D \HDU DJR GRPLQDQW FRQFHUQ ZDV LQĂ DWLRQ FRQWURO ,Q IDFW WKH QRWHG journal “Economistâ€? observed seven months ago that aggregated economies of Europe suffered from weak demand.

There has been change in stance off late, but probably this too is the case where more could be done sooner. I want to be careful of any political undertones but certain facts can’t be ignored. Monetary policies can’t exist in isolation. There can’t be a confrontation of the kind we have seen for supposed independence of DQ RIĂ€FH ZLWKRXW FRQVHQVXV RI VRPH NLQG :H FDQ¡W KDYH WDON RI Ă€VFDO SUXGHQFH and supposed durability of 50 billion dollar scheme which is almost 2 percent of GDP coming from the source of same breath.

Dear Members, ELECRAMA fever will soon grip the country as we commence the space booking process this month for the 14th edition of the mega exhibition scheduled from 18-22 January 2020 at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida. ELECRAMA has always been special for the electrical equipment industry in India since its inception in the year 1990. Starting from a small area in Godrej factory to the largest and most modern exhibition venue with gross area exceeding 110,000 sqm, what a momentous 30 years these have been!! ELECRAMA has been built brick by brick and it has reached the stature of being the largest multi dimension show for Electrical Equipment Industry particularly the Transmission and Distribution segment. IEEMA has constantly endeavoured to add value and evolved the show to meet the expectation of the industry in this fast changing environment. This constant adaptation ensures that exhibitors and visitors both are able to get value while investing time and resources. The mega event is a platform to connect the world with Indian industry in respect of technology, new trends and innovation. It is also a stage where all global leaders can meet and share their ideas to develop cost effective solutions for the world. Next year we are expecting 1250+ Exhibitors from India and overseas; 10+ country pavilions and exhibitors from 25 countries. We are also expecting around 3 lakh visitors footfalls from the length and breadth of India and also IURP RYHU IRUHLJQ FRXQWULHV LQFOXGLQJ IURP 6RXWK $VLD ² %DQJODGHVK 1HSDO 6UL /DQND $IJKDQLVWDQ 6RXWK (DVW Asia – Indonesia, Thailand; Malaysia; Myanmar; Vietnam; Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, Korea, Taiwan, Japan and Africa – South Africa and many countries of Sub Saharan Africa & CIS. ELECRAMA has completed the transition from the traditional power transmission and distribution domain to cover the complete electricity ecosystem. Co-located events such as 3rd World Utility Summit – conference for the Utilities and by the Utilities – witnesses CEOs from leading Utilities of the world deliberate and share experience with Indian counterparts. eTechnxt brings future technologies in the domains of Renewables, Energy Storage and eMobility to the Indian audience.

India has already emerged as a major power nation among the developing economies. Electricity is a key element for the economic growth of the country and is directly linked to the quality of life and GDP of the country. There has been a rush in demand for power in India due to increase action in industrialisation, urbanisation, and capacity utilisation. Even though technology
