- (a) to (e) : Hon'ble  Prime  Minister,  on  5 th   January,  2015,  launched  Street Lighting National Programme (SLNP) to replace 1.34 crore conventional street lights with energy efficient LED street lights by March, 2019.  SLNP is being implemented  by  Energy  Efficiency  Services  Limited  (EESL),  a  joint  venture company of Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) under the Ministry of Power. Till  date,  EESL  has  installed  over  76.77  lakh  LED  street  lights  in  28 States/UTs.
2. SLNP  is  voluntary  in  nature  and  runs  without  any  budgetary  support from  Government of India.  The  entire  investment  in  supply,  installation  and maintenance of LED Street Lights is made by EESL. Payment to EESL is made by Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) from the resultant savings achieved in terms of reductions in electricity bills and maintenance cost, in respect of the street lights covered under the programme, over a period of seven years.
3. SLNP is implemented in States/ULBs, which have signed the implementation  agreement  with  EESL.  As  on  date,  it  is  implemented  in  all ULBs of 13 States and 1 Union Territory (Annexure-I) and partially in 11 other states  and  3  UTs    (Annexure-II),  including  States/UTs  where  demonstration projects have been successfully completed.
4. SLNP  has  not  been  implemented  so  far  in  the  states  of  Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Meghalaya and Union Territories of Daman & Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Lakshadweep.
5. Till date, total 1,492 ULBs have signed the implementation agreement with EESL for replacement of conventional street lights with LED street lights. Out  of  these  ULBs,  installation  work  in  712  ULBs  has  been  completed. States/UTs  wise  number  of  ULBs  which  have  signed  the  implementation agreement with EESL for this programme is at Annexure-III.
6. EESL has conducted the studies on the implementation of SLNP in the states of Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan. The gist of findings emerging from these studies is at Annexure IV.
7. For  effective  implementation  of  SLNP  as  well  as  for  expediting  the implementation in remaining states/UTs, the following steps have been taken by ESSL/Government:
- (i) EESL  has  submitted  proposals  for  replacement  of  Conventional  street lights with LED street to the remaining States/UTs
- (ii) Letters have been issued by Secretary (Power) to all the Chief Secretaries of  all  the  States/UTs  for  implementation  of  SLNP  Programme  in  their respective states
- (iii) Real time monitoring is done of performance of the installed Street Lights by Centralised Control and Monitoring System (CCMS).
