Delhi is due to receive 20,000 smart street lights by Diwali, with real-time monitoring included in the rollout, according to NDTV. The work forms part of a broader project to replace 100,000 old street lights across the capital with smart LEDs by January 2027.
Delhi is set to receive 20,000 smart street lights by Diwali, according to NDTV. The lights will include real-time monitoring as part of the planned rollout. The installation is part of a larger project to replace 1 lakh, or 100,000, old street lights across the capital with smart LED units.
The broader replacement programme is scheduled to be completed by January 2027. The available material does not specify the precise date for Diwali, the locations where the first 20,000 lights will be installed or the agency responsible for carrying out the work. It also does not explain what information the real-time monitoring system will collect or how it will be used.
The project’s stated aim, as described in the source material, is to modernise Delhi’s street-light network. The planned smart units are to replace existing older lights rather than add a separately defined network. No information is provided about the project’s cost, procurement arrangements or the condition of the lights being replaced.
The material also does not say how progress will be measured or whether the January 2027 target applies to every area of Delhi. The immediate commitment is the rollout of 20,000 smart lights by Diwali, within the wider target of 100,000 replacements by January 2027.
