Power Line held its first trade show, TransTech India 2024, on October 7-9, 2024 at the India International Convention Centre (Yashobhoomi) in New Delhi.
The mission of TransTech India was to provide a platform for industry leaders and innovators to exchange insights, showcase technology advances and forge collaborations that will shape the future of power transmission.
The three-day exhibition and conference was India’s biggest event this year focused solely on the transmission sector. It was supported by the Ministry of Power and the country’s top four transmission developers – Power Grid Corporation of India Limited, Adani Energy Solutions Limited, IndiGrid and Sterlite Power.
The event was also supported by Global Transmission Report, which is the leading provider of information and analysis on the global electricity transmission industry.
The event had a very good response from the industry. Over the course of the three days, it attracted almost 1,500 participants from over 300 organisations, representing developers, government agencies, state transcos, system operators, regulators, technology providers, EPC contractors, financiers/investors, consultants, etc. It had representation from almost every state and every segment of the industry.
The event was kicked off by an address by Ravindra Kumar Tyagi, Chairman and Managing Director, Power Grid Corporation of India Limited. The high-level conference had a stellar cast of speakers with CEOs and CXOs from leading sector players and key stakeholders.
The discussions at the conference focused on key trends, developments, challenges and opportunities in the Indian transmission sector. The sessions were very informative and insightful, covering topics such as: Industry Perspective; Transition to Clean Energy; State Utility Perspectives and Plans; EPC Perspective; O&M Best Practices and Asset Management; Transmission System Planning; GRID-India Initiatives; Renewable Energy Evacuation; Offshore Wind Transmission; and Skill Development for Transmission.
The exhibition attracted leading technology players and equipment manufacturers, who showcased cutting-edge solutions, innovative projects and noteworthy initiatives.
The feedback from the participants was very positive. They all praised the event for its high quality. In particular, they appreciated the B2B feel, the clean and uncluttered layout, the availability
of lots of meeting areas and the excellent hospitality.
But they were most impressed with the fact that every visitor was qualified, relevant and involved with the transmission sector. They were able to meet their key clients, prospects, partners and vendors. It was an excellent opportunity for networking, and learning about new products and technologies.
Encouraged by the success of this event, Power Line has decided to hold TransTech India every year. The next edition (TransTech India 2025) will be held on December 10-12, 2025, at the same venue.
