New Delhi Hosts PCIM Asia Conference Highlighting India’s Next Generation Household Electronics Innovation
New Delhi has launched the first-ever PCIM Asia Conference in India, spotlighting innovations in household electronics and power management technologies. The two-day event brings together industry leaders, policymakers, and academic researchers to explore next-generation devices, energy-efficient systems, and smart home solutions. Attendees are set to discuss domestic manufacturing, global collaborations, and sustainable innovations, positioning India as a growing hub for advanced household electronics and low-energy, environmentally responsible technology.
The conference opened with an inaugural session attended by senior representatives from the Ministry of Electronics & IT, Ministry of Power, and international institutions including the European Centre for Power Electronics and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. A senior government official highlighted India’s commitment to strengthening domestic capabilities in household electronics, particularly through initiatives supporting silicon carbide-based semiconductors and locally manufactured energy-efficient devices. Such efforts are expected to reduce reliance on imports while fostering innovation aligned with sustainable development goals.Industry experts described the event as a crucial platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration. An executive from Messe Frankfurt Asia noted that India’s growing demand for smart home appliances and energy-efficient electronics positions the country as a strategic hub in the global power electronics ecosystem. Sessions focused on the integration of household electronics with renewable energy, smart grids, and energy-saving technologies, emphasising both economic growth and environmental impact.
The conference also prioritised collaboration between academia and industry. Researchers, manufacturers, and students engaged in interactive discussions, poster presentations, and mentoring sessions. Experts emphasised that fostering such partnerships is essential for developing sustainable, gender-neutral, and inclusive innovations in household electronics. “Connecting design, R&D, and policy frameworks ensures that India’s household technology sector evolves responsibly while meeting global standards,” a senior academic participant said.With support from the Ministry of Electronics & IT, Ministry of Power, INEMI, and IPCA, PCIM Asia New Delhi has laid the groundwork for further editions in Germany and China. By showcasing advanced household electronics technologies and promoting cross-border collaboration, the conference positions India at the forefront of sustainable, low-carbon technological innovation. The event signals a broader shift towards energy-efficient homes, smart appliances, and environmentally conscious design, highlighting the intersection of industrial development, urban living, and green technology adoption.
As India advances its domestic manufacturing capabilities and strengthens international partnerships, conferences like PCIM Asia contribute to building resilient, low-energy, and sustainable cities. The focus on household electronics illustrates the country’s potential to lead in environmentally responsible innovation while addressing the growing urban demand for smart, efficient, and reliable home technologies.
