2. UJALA scheme was launched by PM Narendra Modi on 1st May 2015 under Ministry of Power by Government of India.
In May 2015, the Indian government introduced the UJALA (Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All) scheme, which is also known
as the LED-based Domestic Efficient Lighting Programme (DELP), to promote energy efficiency in all households.
The UJALA Scheme is a joint project of the Government of India's Public Sector Undertakings, the Union Ministry of Power's
Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) and DISCOM.
Through the UJALA scheme, the government aims to save 85 lakh kWh of electricity and 15,000 tonnes of CO2 by replacing 77
crore traditional bulbs & CFLs and 3.5 crore street lights with LEDs.
As per the data by the Ministry of Power, in 2020, the government deployed 366 million LEDs; the Energy Efficiency Services
Limited, a government-owned energy services firm, installed >10 million LED smart street lights as part of the LED Street
Lighting National Programme.

3. Who are Energy Efficiency Services Limited
(EESL)?
EESL is a publicly owned energy services company with the mission of delivering energy efficiency across
India. It was established in 2010 and is under the administrative control of the Ministry of Power as part of
the National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency of Power. It is a joint venture of four major
government-owned companies: Power Grid, NTPC, Rural Electrification Corporation Limited and the
Power Finance Corporation Limited.
How has EESL transformed
the energy efficiency market in
India?
The EESL’s Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All (UJALA,
meaning Light in Hindi), is the world’s largest lighting replacement
programme. By 2019, UJALA aims to replace 770 million old
wasteful lamps with modern, efficient and longer lasting LED lamps,
without the need for any government subsidies.
To date more than 100 million LED bulbs have been delivered
across the country, completely transforming the way people look at
LED bulbs and energy efficiency.
4. NEED FOR UJALA
According to various research studies (ELCOMA, 2013; NITI Aayog, 2012; PwC, 2011), the
contribution of lighting to the overall residential electricity use was estimated to be ~ 18-27.
Using a uniform annual use of 1,580 hours for each lighting point, the report further estimated that the
overall electricity consumption from all these lighting points was ~27% of the total residential
electricity consumption.
Although residential LEDs use ~75% less energy and last 25x longer than incandescent lighting, the
high cost of LEDs poses a challenge to implement such energy-efficient lighting systems.
To enable this, the government launched the UJALA scheme to make energy-efficient
household lighting systems affordable for all.
Under the scheme, the cost of the LED bulbs—that were distributed through the state-run EESL—
was lowered to Rs. 65 (US$ 0.8) in 2016 from Rs. 310 (US$ 4.22) in 2013.
Moreover, to boost adoption of energy-efficient lighting methods/systems in the country, the
government initiated numerous programmes such as DSM-based Efficient Lighting Programme
(DELP) (2014) and the Bachat Lamp Yojana (BLY) to replace traditional bulbs with LED bulbs and
reduce costs of LED bulbs to ensure energy-efficient lighting systems in every Indian household.
These government-led programmes also helped in creating awareness about energy-efficient LED
bulbs; this bolstered the domestic LED market to expand from < 5 million-unit sales per year in 2014
to ~669 million-unit sales in 2018 (as per ELCOMA India Report).

UJALA: INITIATIVES AND PROGRESS
Distributing LED bulbs at a 40% discount off the retail price
The company also approached state governments and electricity
production & distribution utilities to sign contracts and establish a value
chain for the public distribution of these LED lamps under the UJALA
programme. Due to this market aggregation, the retail prices of LED
dramatically declined to as low as US$ 0.8 (Rs. 65) in 2016.
Enabling customer purchase lower‐cost LED bulbs
Under the UJALA scheme, the government offers two payment options to purchase
LED bulbs. In the first alternative, consumers can choose to pay the whole cost
upfront, and in the second choice, consumers can opt for the ‘pay as you wish/on-
bill financing’ programme, wherein the program offered customers with the choice
to pay initial cost of US$ 0.15 (Rs. 10) per bulb and the remaining balance was
recovered through a monthly electricity bill of US$ 0.15 (Rs. 10) per month.
Distributing LED bulbs in rural areas under the GRAM UJALA scheme
•In March 2021, the government introduced GRAM UJALA scheme for rural households, under
which it aims to distribute LED bulbs at an affordable price of Rs. 10 per bulb.
• Under this scheme, rural customers will be given 7-watt and 12-watt LED bulbs, with a
three-year warranty, if they submit working incandescent bulbs.
• Within two days of its launch, the scheme had reached 6,150 people in Arrah, Bihar.
Key developments
•As per the National UJALA data, UJALA scheme has resulted in annual cost savings of ~Rs. 19,000 crore
(US$ 2.59 billion) over six years, translating to energy savings of ~47 billion kWh (kilowatt-hour) in 2021.
•To support public-private participation in climate change mitigation under the GRAM UJALA scheme,
CESL invited bidders to participate in a revenue-sharing co-investment programme to share costs and
benefits.
•As part of this initiative, in April 2021, Syska LED won a contract to supply 10 million LED bulbs to CESL.
•In March 2021, EESL announced that it would rope in private companies to boost sales of its various
goods & services and accelerate adoption of energy-efficient lighting systems.

UJALA LED bulbs:
•Overall target of a number of LED lights to be replaced in 3 years – 770 million
•Expected annual energy savings – 105 bn KWH
•Expected reduction of peak load – 20,000 MW
•Annual estimated greenhouse gas emission reductions – 79 million tonnes of CO2
10. Eligibility of acquiring LED
bulbs
Every grid-connected consumer having a metered
connection from their respective Electricity Distribution
Company can get the LED bulbs at about 40% of the
market price under the UJALA Scheme.
Documents to be submitted to get LED bulbs
•Photo copy of the latest electricity bill
•A copy of photo ID proof
•A copy of residential proof (The address on the residential proof must
match the address on the electricity bill.)
•Cash advance in case of on-bill financing (balance amount
recovered from the electricity bill) or full amount in case of upfront
payment for each LED.
•In case of upfront payment, address proof is not mandatory.
In case of faulty bulbs/LED bulb fuses
LED bulbs have very long life (> 15 years if used of 4-5 hours every
day) and are not likely to fuse. However, if the LED bulb stops
working due to a technical defect, EESL will be providing free of
cost warranty for all technical faults for three years. During the
distribution, replacements can be done through any of the DELP
distribution counters that would be operating within the city. Any
EESL LED bulb can be replaced with any other company’s EESL
LED bulb
Maximum no. of bulbs owned by a
household
Through the UJALA scheme consumers can avail from a
minimum of 2 to a maximum of 10 LED bulbs, depending on
the region. Studies indicate that a domestic household on an
average has 5-6 lighting points.
How the model works
•Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) distributes LED bulbs
to households at 40 % of market price
•Total upfront investment and risk coverage borne by EESL
•DISCOM pays EESL from actual energy savings over 5 years
•No subsidy required from government
•No impact on electricity tariffs
