Invitation to sponsor & participate in

IT in Power Sector
‘Performance Upgradation including Automation’
December 11- 12, 2008 || New Delhi, India

Dear Sir

Information Technology in Power Sector

Thanks for your interest in the event- ‘IT in Power Sector'.

The power sector is opening up and use of information technology and automation
systems can play a major role in bringing about standardization, transparency, revenue
realization and reduction in transmission and distribution losses in the sector. Technology
innovation can only benefit the sector and IT has a major role to play in empowering the
power supply utilities.

There is a huge need for specialized, customized and upgraded software systems for the
power sector. The restructured Rs 500 billion APDRP initiative gives high priority for
implementation of IT enabled solutions to reduce AT&C losses. The recently updated
report of IT Task Force in October 2008 also observes that technology will enable the
transformation of power sector in India. (Download report from
http://www.indiacore.com/download/IT-Power_Sector_Report-nov08.pdf )

The size and the scope of the software order are significant. India’s state-owned power
utilities are expected to place significant orders of software that can help them in project
monitoring and in managing their networks better.

The Seminar will focus on ‘Application of IT for Upgradation of Technical Performance

and Automation in Power Supply Sector’ and ‘Better Financial Engineering with the
Information Technology’ in Power Sector covering generation, transmission and
distributions segments. The ‘IT in Power’ seminar & exhibition series offers a unique
platform to learn, discuss and exchange experience about the major structural, technical,
managerial & regulatory changes in IT & automation applications amongst stakeholders.
