The 30th edition, with over 250 exhibitors, 2,000 brands and more than 6000 innovative lighting products from India and across the world, reflects the remarkable progress of our LED and energy-efficient technologies ecosystem. Such collaborations strengthen our national missions, the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency under the National Action Plan for Climate Change and support the widespread adoption of efficient lighting solutions across sectors. LED story of India under the UJALA program is history in itself, which witnessed a transformative change in the adoption of LEDs in the country. I am pleased to witness the industry’s continued commitment to innovation, sustainability and responsible energy use.”
Ms A Vijaya, Principal Director, Architectural & Heritage Division, Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH), noted: At INTACH, our work spans the restoration of museums, palaces, stepwells and historic precincts, where adaptive reuse is key to sustaining heritage. Thoughtful lighting plays a transformative role in this process — it enhances the character of historic spaces, elevates their night-time experience and helps communities reconnect with heritage. Events like this offer valuable insights into façade and interior lighting solutions that can support our conservation efforts with subtlety and respect for the original architecture.

The exponential growth we're witnessing validates the trajectory we have been building together as an industry.”
