Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated a pilot streetlight project at the Moolchand underpass to replace around 1 lakh old streetlights with energy-efficient smart LED lights over the next four months. This initiative aims to improve illumination, reduce electricity consumption, and lower costs across the capital.
The new smart LEDs feature automatic switching, where brightness gradually increases as it gets dark and decreases at sunrise. Each light connects to an app, a centralized dashboard, and a control room for real-time monitoring and fault detection, saving an estimated Rs 100 crore in electricity over five years.
QR codes have been installed directly on the new smart streetlights, allowing citizens to easily access all details regarding the light and file complaints if they encounter any problems.
