Shri Rishabh Kothari, Past President, MCCI mentioned that India is one of the largest consumers and producers of electricity. Although India has adequate power generation capacity, a substantial portion of the population still has limited access to electricity, mainly because of the lack of proper transmission and distribution infrastructure. The Indian electrical equipment industry has made significant progress in the past decade. He complimented the Prime Minister’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative for furnishing a fillip to the electric equipment sector with policies that support business.
The Session ended with a Vote of Thanks proposed by Shri Avijit Ghosh, Co-Chairman, Council on Industry, Power & Renewable Energy, MCCI, and Executive Director – Distribution Services, CESC.
