Coimbatore’s largest electrical trade fair returns in August. Elektrotec 2026 — the 9th edition — runs from August 21 to 24 at CODISSIA Trade Fair Complex, bringing together 166 exhibitors across the full electrical and industrial electronics spectrum. From large transformer manufacturers to solar energy suppliers and cable companies, the four-day event covers everything the electrical industry needs under one roof.
The biennial format means Elektrotec 2026 is the first edition since 2024, and the industry updates in renewables, electromobility, and power storage make the gaps between editions significant. What changed in two years in solar pricing, EV charging infrastructure, and battery systems is substantial — Elektrotec is where that catch-up happens in one place.
About Elektrotec 2026
Organised by CODISSIA INTEC Technology Centre — the same body behind AGRI INTEX and other major CODISSIA fairs — Elektrotec has been running since the early 2000s and carries ITPO (India Trade Promotion Organisation) approval. The event is certified Top 100 in the Electric & Electronics category in India and backed by three industry associations: EIEWA (Electrical Industry and Electronics Wholesale Association), MAIT, and CEAMA.
The 9th edition describes itself as South India’s Largest Electrical & Industrial Electronics Trade Fair — a claim supported by the exhibitor count and geographic reach of participating companies. Past editions have drawn companies from across Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and beyond, along with international participation.
Rating across 123 verified reviews: 4.2 out of 5, with Visitors’ Choice recognition. Exhibitor quality scores at 4.6/5, indicating the floor skews toward established companies rather than small regional vendors.
What’s on the Floor
Elektrotec covers 14 product categories, which together span the complete electrical ecosystem from generation to end-use:
Power generation & storage: Generation equipment and generators, power storage systems (batteries, UPS), renewables (solar panels, wind components, inverters), electromobility (EV charging infrastructure, EV components)
Transmission & distribution: Transmission equipment and transformers, distribution systems, switchgear and protection (circuit breakers, surge protection, earthing systems)
Cables & connectivity: Cables & wires across all voltage and application types, power electronics systems
Automation & controls: Industrial automation systems, sensors and measurement devices, testing and measuring instruments
End-use systems: LED lighting, semiconductors and electronic components
The renewables and electromobility sections are the fastest-growing categories in the electrical industry right now, and Elektrotec 2026 reflects that. Confirmed exhibitors in the solar and energy storage segment include Swelect Energy Systems (Platinum category), Viridis India (Diamond category), Space Solar (Diamond category), Hi-Tech Solar Appliances, and Hild Energy.
Who Attends and Who Exhibits
This is a trade professional event. CODISSIA manages registration through their industry database, and the visitor profile reflects that:
Electrical contractors and EPC firms evaluating new switchgear, cable suppliers, and automation systems for project specifications. The concentration of suppliers in one visit saves weeks of outbound supplier calls.
Power utilities and government officials reviewing new transmission and distribution equipment, energy storage options, and renewable energy integration products.
Industrial manufacturers sourcing motors, drives, sensors, and process automation equipment for plant upgrades or new facilities. Coimbatore’s textile and engineering manufacturing base generates consistent demand for this category.
Consultants and specifiers updating their product knowledge — understanding what Legrand, L&T, and newer entrants are offering before writing specifications.
Dealers and distributors evaluating product lines for their inventory, particularly in the fast-moving solar and LED segments where new products arrive every cycle.
Confirmed major exhibitors for the 2026 edition include Larsen & Toubro (L&T), Novateur Electrical & Digital Systems (Legrand’s electrical division), Tibrewala Electronics, Safvolt Switchgears, and several solar energy companies. The Platinum and Diamond category exhibitors — Swelect, Sibassan Electric, Viridis India, Space Solar — indicate the larger companies are committing to prominent booth placements.

Show timings: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM, August 21–24, 2026.
Venue: CODISSIA Trade Fair Complex, Halls A, B & C
Elektrotec uses the full three-hall indoor configuration at CODISSIA — Halls A, B, and C — which provides the combined indoor space to accommodate 166 exhibitors and their product displays. For an electrical trade show, the hall infrastructure matters: CODISSIA’s high-clearance, pillar-free halls allow transformer displays, large switchgear panels, and full-scale automation demonstrations that smaller venue would not accommodate.
