EESL garners Rs. 3,000 cr from LED bulb programme
Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL) has raised nearly Rs. 3,000-crore revenue through the Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All (UJALA) programme.
UJALA is the LED-based Domestic Efficient Lighting Programme (DELP) launched in January 2015 with a target of replacing 77- crore incandescent lamps with LED bulbs. The programme was implemented by EESL, a joint venture of public sector enterprises under the administrative control of the Ministry of Power.
“EESL has earned nearly Rs. 3,000-crore revenue from the UJALA programme in the past four years. This has been accrued from the sale of LED bulbs to consumers. These 32.5-crore bulbs have been sold between Rs. 70 to Rs. 180 per bulb to the consumers,” Saurabh Kumar, Managing Director at Energy Efficiency Services Ltd, told BusinessLine.
