Additional Details
Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All (UJALA) is a flagship national energy efficiency initiative implemented by Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture of public sector undertakings under the Ministry of Power. It is recognized as the world's largest non-subsidized LED distribution program.
Under UJALA, domestic electricity consumers can purchase high-quality 9W LED bulbs, 20W LED tube lights, and 5-Star rated energy-efficient ceiling fans at nearly 40-50% below standard retail prices. The cost is recovered either as an upfront payment or through small installments on the monthly electricity bill (on-bill financing).
Buying UJALA products is free of service charges, and any domestic consumer with a valid electricity connection is eligible. Products carry a standard warranty (e.g. 3 years for LED bulbs and tube lights).
