The current scenario in the electrical equipment sector is a potential portent for huge growth as the demand for technologicaly better solutions in this sector is growing. Even during the ongoing global slowdown, the overall performance of the industry has so far been good. The industry is investing heavily in upgrading technologies and making improvements in quality systems to cater to the emerging demand.

There have been some initiatives by the government that have helped the industry to grow. Some of them are listed below:

1. No roll back on the Central Excise Duties, which was reduced earlier to combat economic recession, which will be surely very encouraging.

2. A lot of investment is being made through APDRP (Accelerated Power Development & Reform Programme).

3. Sanctioning of pending power projects.
