Discussing preparedness of the Indian switchgear industry towards meeting the changing demands. India is experiencing rapid urbanisation and this is only expected to increase in the years to come. The best way to accommodate this massive urbanisation is through establishing smart cities which not only accommodate migrants but also ensures a better and smooth life for all. With a total proposed investment of Rs 1.45 lakh crore, India plans to develop 100 smart cities which will transform the urban landscape of the country by making cities more livable and inclusive and drive sustainable economic growth. The cities will use smart and intelligent technology solutions that will lead to better connectivity and efficiency in energy, building, transport, healthcare, infrastructure, governance, education and citizen services. As many as 60 smart cities are already announced. Mr. Rajesh Nandwani opines:- Smart switchgear is slowly proliferating and expanding its presence in the commercial, industrial and hospitality sectors which have a high power consumption. In the residential segment smart switchgear is still in its nascent stages. Individual switchgear such as Miniature Circuit Breakers etc. are however present. Due to advanced technology, the electricians first have to gear up to accept these products. However, the switchgear sector is slowly making an inroad towards getting ready for smart city challenge.”
