( SHRI  PIYUSH GOYAL )

In  addition,  the  private  sector suppliers have also sold large quantities given the lower prices and huge demand in the country.

UJALA  and  SLNP  are  voluntary  in  nature  and  based  on  a  sustainable business  model,  where  the  cost  of  efficient  lighting  is  repaid  by  consumers/Urban Local  Bodies  (ULBs)  from  savings  in  energy  and  maintenance  expenditure  over  a period  of  time  through  savings  in  electricity  bill.  The  entire  upfront  investment  is made by Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture company of Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) of Ministry of Power. EESL procures LED bulbs and LED street  lights  through  a  transparent  and  competitive  bidding  process  by  aggregating the demand for the same across the country. The bulk procurement of LED bulbs and LED street lights through a transparent and competitive bidding process enables EESL to distribute LED bulbs to consumers and to install LED lights in ULBs, and at lower rates compared to retail market.

(b) : Yes,  Madam.  As  on  31st  March,  2017,  the  domestic  LED  programme UJALA  and  SLNP  are  implemented  in  437  cities  and  544  urban  local  bodies respectively, which is in excess of the target of covering 100 cities.

(c) : The  estimated  annual  energy  savings  and  estimated  reduction  of greenhouse  gases,  on  account  of  distribution  of  LED  bulbs  under  UJALA  and installation  of  LED  street  lights  under  SLNP by  EESL,  are    34.29  billion  units  and  is 27.56 million tonnes CO2 per year, respectively. In addition, there are energy savings and reduction of greenhouse gases on account of sale of large quantities of LED bulbs by the private sector suppliers.
