Gurugram to Implement Mobile App System for Remote Streetlight Management

The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram plans to implement a mobile app-based system to operate and monitor approximately 112,000 to 125,000 streetlights across the city. This initiative aims to improve maintenance efficiency and support smart city infrastructure by enabling remote control, real-time monitoring, and automatic alerts for faults. Currently, some streetlights operate manually or via timers, but the new system will centralize control through installed panels, allowing simultaneous management and scheduled operation to reduce electricity wastage.
