In drive to save energy, DMRC to instal LED lights at 155 spots

It claims to have already installed around 1 lakh such lights

The Delhi Metro has taken up a drive to save energy by replacing its conventional existing lights with LED lights at 155 locations covering metro stations, depots, parking and other areas, which were constructed or opened for the public under DMRC’s Phase-I (2005) and Phase-II (2010). The DMRC said it has covered 75% of the drive by installing around one lakh LED lights in recent months. The remaining 25% of the drive will be completed by the end of October 2021. Around 35, 000 LED lights will be installed in the remaining portion of these locations, the DMRC added. A DMRC spokesperson said the average LED lasts 50,000 operating hours or more, which is 40 times more than the lifespan of an incandescent bulb. In addition, LED lights have an energy efficiency component, which makes them consume a very low amount of power.
