According to the department, for decades, street lighting projects followed the traditional model where governments paid contractors in advance, often leading to delays in installation, poor maintenance, and limited accountability.
The Asansol Division of Eastern Railway has commissioned 60 new 5-meter-high street light poles fitted with 72W energy-efficient LED lights at Asansol Goods Shed, enhancing working conditions and ensuring smoother freight operations.
The Centre has reopened the application window for the PLI Scheme for White Goods (ACs and LED Lights) for the period from 15th July, 2024 to 12th October, 2024 (inclusive).
