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.
