A set of lights that can enhance your mood. A compact lift that can easily take you up and down and a range of interior designs that match your taste.

These are a sampling of the variety of products that are on offer at the three-day The Hindu Business Line- CAI 2015 exhibition, which got underway at the HITEX Exhibition grounds here on Friday.

Noted interior designer Supraja Rao formally inaugurated the event. Over 80 stalls have been put up by virtually all the top brands from the construction, architecture and interiors sectors.

‘Come, see what light can do’, says the Philips Light Lounge. The spokesperson explains how by fixing a set of specialised lights, one can enhance the mood at home after a tiring day’s work. All one has to do is press the remote and the colours begin to change. One can also add some soothing music. The touch, feel and experience lighting range on display is a treat.

Nippon Paints displayshow one can tastefully do up the walls and paint the house, including exteriors with the choicest colours. The paint lasts longer is the claim. Major players like JSW Cements and Steel, the title sponsor for the construction expo, are present in large spaces. “We have grown our presence not just in the exhibition space but also are expanding in the South, especially, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in the cement sector,” said Anil Kumar Pillai, CEO of JSW Cements.

Crompton Greaves Ltd, with its smart solutions for homes with lighting and fans, is upbeat about tapping the growing upper-middle class and urban home buyers, says NS Ramaswamy, Assistant General Manager in Hyderabad.
