Foreign participation shrinks by 25% at India’s renewable energy expo

Participation of foreign exhibitors, including China, has come down to around 25 per cent at the 16th edition of the Renewable Energy India Expo against an average of 45 per cent earlier.

This year size of the Chinese contingent has shrunk due to visa issues amid the prevailing situation between India and China, Informa Markets India’s senior group director Rajneesh Khattar said.

China is the dominating player in solar energy worldwide, he noted.

However, the void has been filled by home-grown domestic entrepreneurs with the expo being held in Greater Noida — turning out to be the largest ever in terms of size and scale, he said.
