To support the growth potential of the Indian elevator industry, the International Elevator and Escalator Expo 2022 along with E2 Forum will bring the latest elevator trends and technologies into focus during 6 – 8 September 2022 at JIO World Convention Centre (JWCC), Mumbai.
Demand for faster, safer, and intelligent elevators is increasing day by day fueled by increasing population of high-rises, metros, and other large infrastructure projects. Even in tier 2 cities, the demand for elevators has grown significantly overtime accompanied by enhanced standard of living. Along with improving standard of technology and innovation in elevator systems, safety standards need to be more meticulously maintained.
Prioritizing safety and convenience through innovation
While periodic maintenance is staple, a majority of elevator accidents can be avoided by replacing older models with sophisticated elevator technologies which are advanced and way more reliable. Another major factor in maintaining elevator safety is the quality of components. It is crucial to use authentic components from licensed OEMs when repairing an elevator instead of spurious counterparts which can seriously compromise the safety and integrity of elevator systems.
Smart elevators are also turning out to be a game changer in implementing safe, smooth and reliable vertical transportation in modern buildings. Equipped with IoT-enabled intelligent systems, smart elevators can pre-determine faults that might arise in the system and notify the authorities beforehand. Furthermore, they also have the potential to make mobility much faster. For instance, some smart elevators can sense proximity of approaching individuals through their mobile or any connected device, and by analyzing their preset record it can also book an elevator for them in advance.

This is a clear indication that buyers are now ready to make a move and the future of the real estate sector will remain robust. Our tie-up with IEE Expo for the past two editions has given the construction industry access to intelligent vertical transport and parking systems. I am confident that the Expo will continue to provide the best architectural mobility insights and solutions for high-rise buildings in the country.”
Owing to the strategic alliance, IEE Expo as a brand has become a trusted choice for real estate moguls like DLF, The Wadhwa Group, TATA Realty and Infrastructure, Marathon Realty, Kalpataru Group, Shree Naman Developers, Dosti Realty, Oswal Realty, JP Infra, Ashar Group, and Lodha Group.
