Light India, India’s renowned fair for the international lighting industry, and Electrical Building Technology India will concurrently open their doors from 5 – 7 October 2016 in New Delhi. The first edition of the two unified events is reportedly over 90% booked and is expected to bring over 250 companies to New Delhi to showcase solutions for smart cities. Targeting the most important visitor groups and policy makers, the co-located fairs will take place at Pragati Maidan in the nation’s capital.
The organisers, Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India Pvt Ltd and ELCOMA (Electric Lamp and Component Manufacturers' Association of India), are now collaborating to bring forward technical innovations, knowledge sharing, as well as market developments through strategically planned fringe programmes. This includes a lighting conference on 6 October and a series of workshops with international associations over the three days of the fair. A Council of Architects Conference is also being planned by the organisers during the show.
From advanced materials for lighting applications for visitors from the manufacturing side to mood and ambient lighting for hospitality and retail sector visitors; and from the complete home lighting controls and automation for smart buildings for architects and interior designers to solar street lighting for urban planners, the conference sessions will offer valuable insights for every visitor segment.

India’s fast-developing public infrastructure together with plans for highway expansions, smart cities and smart homes is expected to drive adoption of intelligent, energy-efficient and connected technologies in the lighting, solar and building technology space. The "smart" street lighting market in India anticipates a stellar growth of USD 1,868.9 million (125.43 billion) by 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 42.2 percent* as adoption of LED and solar powered systems continue to rise. Projected to achieve a CAGR of more than 22 percent during 2015-20**, the infiltration of cloud-based smart street-lighting and building technologies will also rise in the near future. Increased building automation will lead to more energy efficiency, security and safety in buildings.
Industry’s topmost brands covering these innovations will all be present at this important business event making it a go-to destination for city developers, urban planners and architects. This includes technology-leading brands like Anchor, Surya, Crompton, Bajaj Electricals, Havells, Orient Electric, MLS, Opple Lighting, Century LED, Delta Electronics among others. In addition there will be building technology experts such as KNX India, Legrand, Crestron, Hensel, Ray Logic, Prolite Autoglow as well as foreign contingents from China, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan at the three-day fair. They will show a unique combination of innovative, energy and cost-saving technologies to the Indian market.
