[CA] UJALA Scheme


UJALA Scheme

The union government has launched National LED programme – Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All (UJALA) in Madhya Pradesh.

·       The scheme is being implemented by Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture of PSUs under the Union Ministry of Power.

·       UJALA is a flagship project of the Govt. of India where it wants every home in India to use LED bulbs so that the net power or energy consumption rate comes down and the carbon emission rates can also be checked.
Key features of the scheme:
Ø Under this Programme, 3 crore LED Bulbs will be distributed in the next 6 months in the State.
Ø Under the scheme, people of Madhya Pradesh will get energy efficient 9W LED bulbs at an upfront payment of just 85 rupees per LED bulb.

Ø The scheme will not only help reduce consumers their electricity bills but also contribute to the energy security of India.
Ø The scheme is being monitored in a transparent manner through a national dashboard (www.delp.in).
The distribution of LED bulbs will happen through DISCOM offices, DISCOM bill collection centres, designated EESL kiosks, Weekly haat markets, etc.
