Speaking on the announcement of the 9th edition of INE, Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, UBM India said, "The recent decision of the Centre to fast-track India's domestic nuclear power programme with the approval of the construction of ten 700 MWe units in India is a significant augmentation of the country's nuclear generation capacity. The initiative will be fully home-grown, which is bound to be a step towards achieving self-sufficiency. The INE 2017 expo will provide an ideal platform to address these new occurrences, emerging technologies and innovations that will catapult the nation into a power surplus eco-system."
He added, "INE 2017 is expected to garner a significant national and international dignitary presence. We are delighted to bring into focus and provide insights on nascent and emerging sub-sectors such as non-power applications, especially irradiation of processed food and cosmetics. This reduces chemical residue and prolongs the shelf life of perishable items, and has vital consequences for a teeming population such as India's."
