Mr. Vijay Karia, Mentor, Digielec Bharat articulated, “India needs to be independent and self-reliant, and also whatever is consumed in India should be made by Indian companies, and by Indian companies, it does not mean Indian management only but it means Indian ownership.”
stopping material import
The main objective of the Digielec exhibition is to promote exports and position our indigenous electrical industry"

Setting up a manufacturing facility
Mr. Anil Saboo, President-Elect, IEEMA lauded, “There are so many companies around the world wanting to set up their manufacturing facility in India. This exhibition will give them that platform to come here and set up a world-class manufacturing facility in India.”
