Electrical products fair June 26

UNB, Dhaka
A three-day electrical product fair will begin here from June 26 to display various high-standard homemade electrical goods for further expansion of the industry.
Commerce and Education Adviser Dr Hossain Zillur Rahman is scheduled to inau-gurate the Bangladesh Electrical Products Fair 2008, organised by Bangladesh Electrical Merchandise Manufacturers Association (BEMMA) at Hotel Sonargaon.
Organisers expect 60 to 70 industrial units to take part in the exhibition, second of its kind, with a plethora of their electrical products.
BEMMA President Enayet Hossain Chowdhury said the aim of the fair is to familiarise people and policymakers of the government with homemade electrical appliances.
He said there is a huge market for electrical goods in different countries across the globe, including Europe and the Middle East.
Enayet said Bangladesh is about self-sufficient in electrical goods and accessories.
“Apart from some 5 percent sophisticated items, 95 percent electrical products are made in Bangladesh," he claimed, adding that the country is on the threshold of being self-
sufficient in producing all kinds of fans.
Replying to a question, he said that some 3-4 lakh people are employed in more than 3000 electrical industries in the country having an estimated investment of over Tk 5,000 crore.
Enayet hoped Bangladesh would be self-sufficient in cable production within two to three years.
“There is huge prospect of exporting electrical goods abroad and we need government help in this regard," he said.
He mentioned that an electrical company has received order from Canada for export of energy-saving bulbs, which came as a great help for the energy-hungry globe.
BEMMA Senior Vice President Mosharraf Hossain Bhuiyan and Vice President Shahin Ahmed were present on the occasion.
The products to be displayed in the fair include electrical accessories, substation equipment, household electrical appliances, tube light and incandescent bulb, electrical and electronic ballast, superenamel copper wire, energysaving bulb, voltage stabiliser, electrical cables, electric motor, electric meter, transformer, light fittings, electrical fan, capacitor, IPS-UPS and varnish.
