Govt distributed 368 mn LEDs under UJALA scheme

The Ministry of Power has distributed 368 mn LED lights under the UJALA Scheme in seven years, which saved 47,778 million units of electricity per annum. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had launched Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All (UJALA) on January 2015. In a short period, the programme has emerged to be the world's biggest zero-subsidy domestic lighting scheme that handles issues like high electrification prices and high emissions that result from inefficient lighting. The demand of 9,565 MW has been avoided, along with 386 tonne of reduction in CO2 emissions.
