India’s Bright Future: The LED Lighting Revolution
The Indian lighting market is undergoing a fundamental and irreversible transformation, driven by a powerful confluence of government mandates, economic factors, and technological leaps.
At the heart of this change is the LED (Light Emitting Diode), which is rapidly replacing traditional incandescent and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) to become the backbone of the nation’s lighting infrastructure.
This is more than just a product upgrade; it's a strategic national shift toward energy efficiency and sustainability, positioning India as a global leader in large-scale LED adoption.
The Government Catalysis: UJALA and SLNP
The transition to LED in India owes much of its velocity to landmark government initiatives. Schemes like UJALA (Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All) and the Street Lighting National Programme (SLNP) have acted as massive market accelerators.
