About the Exhibition

About ELECXPO Sri Lanka

ELECXPO Sri Lanka 2026 is a dedicated B2B trade platform for the electrical, electronics, renewables and power sectors, launching its 1st edition in Sri Lanka at BMICH, Colombo — co-located with COMPLAST Sri Lanka and RUBEXPO Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka's power and electrical market is being reshaped by grid reliability needs, rising demand for energy-efficient systems, industrial modernisation and a national policy push toward renewable energy. The government has set a target of 70% renewable electricity generation by 2030 — creating strong and immediate demand for solar PV, inverters, storage, control systems, switchgear and project services.

Sri Lanka is a compact but strategically attractive South Asian market, fully import dependent for electrical and electronics products — giving exhibitors a clear entry route through distributors, project suppliers, consultants and channel partners.
