Relocation and Expansion for Intersolar India
PFORZHEIM and FREIBURG, Mar. 31 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
- From 2010, India's International Exhibition and Conference for the
Solar Industry Will Take Place at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai.
On December 14, 2010, India's international exhibition for solar
technology, Intersolar India, will once more open its doors. Intersolar India
is the leading international industry platform for photovoltaics and solar
thermal technology in India. 2010 will see Intersolar India take place for
the first time at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC) in Mumbai. By relocating
to one of the country's largest exhibition centers, Intersolar India is
laying the foundation for expansion over the coming years.
Intersolar India focuses on the development of the Indian solar market as
well as promoting targeted cooperation between industry, commerce, service
providers and politics within this quickly developing market. The aim of the
exhibition and conference is to encourage the growth of the Indian solar
market and to drive forward global networking within the solar industry.
From Hyderabad to Mumbai
Intersolar India first took place in November of 2009 together with
SOLARCON(R) India in Hyderabad. Following its successful launch in 2009,
Intersolar India is now set to develop further with its new location at the
Bombay Exhibition Centre with Mumbai as the backdrop for the exhibition.
Intersolar's event on the Indian subcontinent sets a strong example for the
expansion of this promising market.
India's Market Potential
Energy security has become a significant factor in Indian politics.
India's energy demand is constantly rising on account of the country's rapid
economic growth, and experts estimate this to rise from the current level of
660 kilowatt hours (kWh) per capita per year, to up to 2,000 kWh by 2032.
At the same time, India fulfils all the requirements for taking on a
leading position in the international solar market. High levels of insolation
enable the production of four to seven kWh of solar energy on average per
square meter, per day. For this reason, the Indian government is increasingly
backing solar energy. In line with plans set out in the "National Solar
Mission" of India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, solar installations
with a combined output of 20 gigawatts (GW) are due to be installed by 2022
making prospects in the Indian market particularly good presently and for the
foreseeable future. Even in the initial phase of expansion, India's
government intends to allocate several hundred million euros for feed-in
tariffs and research projects. As a result, an increasing amount of national
and international companies are responding to these new developments and
Intersolar India offers them the premier platform for taking the first step
into the hugely promising Indian market.
