The domestic electrical equipment manufacturing industry clocked a 16.6 per cent growth during the first quarter of 2011-2012, the same level as in the previous year, according to industry estimates. The Indian Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers' Association (IEEMA), an industry association of manufacturers of electrical, industrial electronics and allied equipment, has based these growth figures on the production and sales data collected from its member organisations. “While the electrical equipment industry was geared with production capacity, procedural delays in releasing tenders and contracts, and runaway cost escalation due to price of commodity inputs were holding back electrification of the country,” the industry body said in a statement.
