NEW DELHI, NOV 26, 2015: MR Piyush Goyal, Union Minister for Power, Coal and New & Renewable Energy has said that the world today is looking for the massive roll out of LED programme in India. While officially announcing the milestone of distributing over three crore LED Bulbs by Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) under DELP programme here today, Mr Goyal felt that there is a need for correction of the retail market price of LED bulbs and suggested the industry to look for more innovative retail platforms in order to make it more affordable to the people. In this regard, he urged the industry to join the ‘Make in India' programme for manufacturing the basic components of LED bulbs in the country.

Appreciating the efforts of EESL for achieving the historic milestone, Mr Goyal said that the success of the programme will strengthen India's stand at forthcoming COP21 at Paris and will present India as a responsible nation.

Before interacting with the media, Mr Goyal had detailed interaction with the industry representatives in which he took their feedback and suggestions on the DELP programme. The Minister assured all the stakeholders his full support for the growth of the industry.

The Minister also released “Monitoring and Verification Report of Street Lighting and DELP Projects” on the occasion.
