My ministry is putting all out efforts to make cities green & sustainable for the citizens. For energy efficiency, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation & Urban Transformation has undertaken the project of replacing conventional streetlights with LED lights.
#TransformingUrbanLandscape
LEDs use less energy than incandescent bulbs. Diode light is more efficient power-wise than filament light. LED bulbs use more than 75% less energy than incandescent light. LED flood lamps use only 11 to 12 Watts creating light impact comparable to 50 Watt incandescent bulb.
Under AMRUT, during the first quarter (April to June 2020) post lockdown, 1.86 lakh conventional streetlights have been replaced by energy efficient LED lights. So far, nearly 77 lakhs conventional street lights have already been replaced by energy efficient LED lights.
This has resulted in around 167.86 crore kWh energy saving & reduced 13.42 lakh tonnes CO2 emission per year.
#AMRUT has been successful in developing & strengthening civic urban infrastructure & #TransformingUrbanLandscape in last 5 years.
Projects can be geo-tagged through 'mAMRUT' Mobile App, designed by NIC & the results of geo-tagging are accessible to citizens & officials alike on the public portal geourbanmissions.gov.in. Till date, 5,792 AMRUT projects have been geo-tagged across the country.
