LEDs: City's unique way of conserving energy [1]

In a first of its kind initiative for energy conservation undertaken by the city, the Jan Marg will be lit up by Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). An order of around 218 LEDs has been placed with a Pune based firm. A grant of nearly Rs 65 lakh has been given by the Central Government. The LEDs are superior in quality and will enable conservation of energy. While LEDs consume around 37 watts of power, the fittings at present require nearly 260 watts.
