The electrical Infrastructure including Distribution and controls of any establishment, be it Automobile, Technology, Automotive, Food Industry, Manufacturing, Pharma Industry, Construction and Infrastructure, Government Organizations, Engineering, Energy, Real estate, Fashion, Retail, Finance and others; is the heart of any establishment. Hence the facilities depend on reliable and uninterrupted electricity for their functioning and operation. Electrical Contracting has thus evolved from providing a conventional power distribution system to a more robust and efficient system that focuses on comfort, safety, and an attractive work environment which in turn contributes to reduced energy consumption and carbon footprint and cost reduction to building owners and tenants. Moreover, the latest developments in digital technologies have made electrical systems more connected, intelligent, efficient, reliable, and sustainable.
Increasing demand in construction activities across sectors which include Data Centres due to digitalization taking prominence in all domains, Industries shifting to highly sophisticated equipment and automated production lines, Solar Power Plants being established to use renewable energy, EV Charging Stations to cater to the need of Electric Mobility are some of the major factors bolstering the growth of this market.
