Subsidized LED Tube Lights in India

BENGALURU: The government's energy efficiency scheme is all set to be tweaked for Bengaluru: Instead of LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs, the authorities will distribute LED tubelights at highly subsidized prices.

Energy minister DK Shivakumar said: "We have realized that a majority of Bengalureans have got used to tubelights as part of their domestic lighting system. We have been promoting the energy efficiency scheme (Hosa Belaku) in rural areas and we wish to scale it up in the urban sector. Since not many are keen on LED bulbs we decided to distribute LED tubelights in Bengaluru."

An LED tubelight, which costs around Rs 750 in the open market, will be supplied at Rs 250. The price will vary according to the wattage and distribution will be through Energy Efficiency Service Limited (EESL), a joint venture of public sector undertakings of the Union power ministry. There are plans to distribute energy-efficient fans.

The government has advocated the use of energy efficient domestic lighting for some time now. "We have decided to reduce the price of LED bulbs. One will now cost Rs 50," Kumar said.
