India to save $6 bn pa after switching to LED: piyush Goyal

The government’s decision to switch over to LED bulbs by 2018 under the energy efficiency mission would result in saving of up to $6 billion per annum, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said on Saturday. Under the Domestic Efficient Lighting Programme (DELP), nearly 4.59 crore LED bulbs have been 
distributed so far. 

"When all the 71 crore conventional bulbs are replaced by LED bulbs it will result in a saving of 100 billion units of electricity," Power Minister Goyal, said here. The Centre has set a target to distribute over six crore LED bulbs through state-run Energy Efficiency Services (EESL).
