Delhi Launches Project to Install 1 Lakh Smart LED Streetlights for Safety and Savings
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta launched a pilot project to replace around 100,000 old streetlights with smart LED lights across the city. The initiative aims to improve illumination, enhance women's safety by covering dark spots, and reduce electricity consumption, projecting savings of Rs 100 crore over five years. Each light will feature QR codes for public complaints and be monitored via a central command center to ensure timely repairs. The smart system will adjust brightness automatically based on daylight.
