With major steps taken by the government to promote the usage of LED, the 20th edition of LED Expo Mumbai 2019 will bring the latest trends from over 300 companies to help encourage these initiatives and provide a resourceful platform to manufacturers, importers, distributors and end users. Use of LEDs at residential areas will be further promoted with DELP being proposed by EESL in consultation with BEST and MSEDL.

The premium show, known for displaying the entire value chain of LED lights and technologies, will have both exquisite and essential LED products from contingents like India, China, Hongkong, Korea, Taiwan, and UAE.
