If you are in and around the power-starved industrial city of Coimbatore, attending this exhibition/conference might offer the perfect opportunity for your company to migrate away from diesel generators by adopting renewable energy technologies in order to fight power-cuts. Who knows, with the prices of renewable energy products coming down quickly and with the subsidy offered by state/central Government, you might even want to disconnect from the electrical grid altogether.
