What Electrofest 2026 offers
Electrofest 2026, Northeast India’s largest electrical exhibition, is being held in Guwahati from January 24 to 27 at Vrindavan Garden, Athgaon. Organised by GEMA, the expo features over 120 stalls, participation from 50+ companies, free public entry, and aims to strengthen Guwahati’s position as a regional trade and business hub.
A major boost to Guwahati’s trade calendar
With over 120 stalls and participation from more than 50 leading companies from across the country, Electrofest 2026 has turned Guwahati into a temporary showcase of the latest electrical products, technologies, and allied solutions. From power equipment to modern electrical innovations, the expo covers the full spectrum of the industry under one roof.
Local traders say hosting such a large-scale exhibition in Guwahati reduces dependence on metro cities for sourcing and networking, while also attracting buyers and professionals from neighbouring Northeastern states.
Strong local connections and business opportunity
The choice of Guwahati as the venue is significant. As Assam’s commercial capital and the gateway to the Northeast, the city offers connectivity, infrastructure, and a growing market for electrical and construction-related industries.
Organisers said the exhibition is designed to serve not just large manufacturers, but also local dealers, contractors, electricians, and entrepreneurs from Guwahati and nearby districts, creating direct business opportunities within the region.
Lucky draws and public engagement
Adding to the visitor appeal, Electrofest 2026 is hosting a lucky draw every two hours for attendees. Prizes include a scooty, mobile phones, LED TVs, suitcases, and other consumer items, encouraging higher footfall and sustained public engagement throughout the day.
Families, students, and professionals are expected to visit the expo, making it both a business-focused and community-oriented event for Guwahati.
Learning, networking, and growth platform
Beyond product displays, the exhibition aims to function as a networking and knowledge-sharing platform. Manufacturers, distributors, and industry experts are using the space to exchange insights, discuss emerging trends, and explore partnerships relevant to the Northeast market.
According to organisers, the first edition of Electrofest attracted over 7,000 visitors, and the response this year is expected to be stronger, driven by Guwahati’s expanding trade ecosystem.
Why this matters for Guwahati
Large-scale expos like Electrofest underline Guwahati’s emergence as a preferred destination for regional trade exhibitions. Such events contribute to local business growth, hospitality, logistics, and employment, while also enhancing the city’s reputation as a business-friendly urban centre in Northeast India.
What happens next
Electrofest 2026 will continue till January 27, with daily visitor access and ongoing industry interactions. Organisers expect strong participation over the remaining days, further cementing Guwahati’s role as a hub for commerce and exhibitions in the region.
