## A N S W E R

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR POWER, NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR SKILL DEVELOPMENT & ENTREPRENEURSHIP

(SHRI  R.K. SINGH)

(a) to (c) : Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture company of Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) under the Ministry of Power, Government of India has  launched  the  National  LED  Programme  on  5 th   January  2015  which  has  two components (i) Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All (UJALA) to provide LED bulbs to  domestic  consumers,  and  (ii)  Street  Lighting  National  Programme  (SLNP)  to replace conventional street lights with energy efficient LED street lights.

Under UJALA Programme, as on 16.03.2021, EESL distributed 36,72,01,454  LED  bulbs  which  has  led  to  47.691  Billion  Units  (BUs)  of  electricity energy savings per year. The salient features of this Programme are as under:-

-  To promote the use of efficient lighting technology at affordable rates.
-  To enhance consumer awareness on the financial and environmental benefits of using energy efficient bulbs.
-  Increase  the  demand  of  LED  lights  by  aggregating  requirements  across  the country and provide an impetus to domestic lighting industry.

-  To provide economies of scale to manufacturers through regular bulk procurement.

Under SLNP, as on 16.03.2021, EESL has replaced 1,15,35,189 conventional  street  lights  with  LED  street  lights.  This  led  to  an  estimated  energy savings  of  7.75  BU  per  year.    EESL  replaces  the  conventional  street  lights  with energy efficient LEDs  street lights at its own  costs  (without any need  for municipalities to invest) and the consequent reduction in energy and maintenance cost of the municipality is used to repay EESL over a period of time. The contracts that EESL enters into with municipalities are typically of 7 years duration where it not  only  guarantees  a  minimum  energy  saving  (of-typically  50%)  but  also  provides free replacements and maintenance of lights at no additional cost to the municipality.

The  details of total LED  bulbs distributed, State/UT-wise, as on 16.03.2021  are  given  at  Annexure-I.  Further,  State/UT-wise  LED  bulbs  distributed during the last three years and current year are given at Annexure-II.

The details of LED street lights installed under SLNP, State/UT-wise, are given at Annexure- III.

(d) : Department  for  Promotion  of  Industry  and  Internal  Trade  (DPIIT), Ministry  of  Commerce  and  Industry,  Government  of  India  has  informed  that  on 11.11.2020, the Union Cabinet has given approval to introduce the Production-Linked Incentive  (PLI)  Scheme  for  the  10  Key  Sectors  with  a  total  outlay  of  Rs.  1,45,980 crore for enhancing India's Manufacturing capabilities and enhancing exports. White Goods (that includes LED Lights) sector is one of the 10 key sectors with an outlay of Rs.  6238  crore.  Production-Linked  Incentive  (PLI)  Scheme  for  White  Goods  (LED Lights)  has  been  included  to  boost  domestic  manufacturing  and  attract  large investments.
