The Delhi government is likely to give financial approval to replace 40,000 old streetlights on roads under the public works department with energy-efficient smart LED fittings.
Current scale
Around 96,000 streetlights are currently managed by the PWD, of which 45,000 still run on conventional HPSV fittings.
Expected savings
By switching from HPSV fittings to smart LEDs, the Delhi government expects to save around Rs 31.53 crore annually in electricity and maintenance costs, against current annual spend of roughly Rs 90 crore.
