LEDs brighten several areas

Streets connecting Madina and Falaknuma as well as the stretch from the mini Charminar to HICC, as well as its surrounding areas were lit up by new LED streetlights.

As a pilot project, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation replaced 748 conventional bulbs with LEDs. Two stretches were selected by the civic body in the West and South Zones for LED installation.

On the Hitec city-Kothaguda Road stretch, 289 bulbs were replaced. Bulbs on the Chandrya-ngutta-Nayapool stretch too were replaced with LED lights. Following a bidding process, the project was assigned to HPL.

According to the GHMC authorities, LED lights are energy efficient and can reduce total energy consumption by 65-67 per cent. Maintenance costs are also reduced due to the longer life of LEDs (50,000 hours).
