Lighting – Bachat Lamp Yojana (BLY)
2
Rationale for the programme
• Almost a fifth of global electricity is used for lighting, which
•
•
•
•
accounts for 1.9 billion tons of CO2 every year.
Equivalent to the emissions from 70% of the world’s
passenger vehicles.
In India, Lighting accounts for almost 20% of the total
electricity demand, and is a major component of the peak
load.
The majority of lighting needs in the country are met by
incandescent bulbs, particularly in the household sector.
Extremely energy inefficient as over 90% of the electricity is
converted into heat, and only upto 10% is used for lighting.

Objective
What
• Quality long-life CFLs would be
distributed
to
grid-connected
residential households in exchange
of a incandescent lamp (ICL) and
INR 15
Who
• Implementers who possess both
finance and project management
skills
How
• The project cost is covered through
sale of GHG emission reductions
also known as CERs achieved in the
respective Project areas.
Specifications of CFLs
 Confirm to IS15111 viz.
 Life >= 6000 hrs
 Power factor >= 0.85
 Confirm to IS 418:2004 viz.
 Lumen output >= the ICL replaced.
 CFLs carry a BLY logo

Implementation Methods
Selecting
private
Investors to
implement the
projects in some
areas
• DISCOMs may tender out the areas for
BLY implementation with strict
conditions to implement the projects
• Impose penalty for non compliance of
the timelines of distribution in 3
months
Create a SPV in
the state for
Implementation
• SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) May be
created in the state for implementation
of BLY(e.g Kerala)
• SPV may get empanelled with BEE and
implement the project
• Govt may arrange finance for SPV

BLY – Results & way forward
• Total sales of CFLs have increased to 340 million (in 2011) from
200 million (in 2008) when the Bachat Lamp Yojana (BLY) was
conceptualized.
• The doubling of CFL market, even though BLY has contributed
to only about 15% of the increase, suggests that the market
transformation under BLY has occurred.
• An avoided generation capacity of 415 MW has been
achieved by the BLY scheme during XI Plan.
• The BLY scheme was designed to be viable when the price of
CERs was Euro 8 or more, whereas current price is Euro 0.6;
scheme is no longer viable and no new projects are being
submitted. However, the approved projects under BLY scheme
will continue.

BEE’s Initiative – XII Plan
LED based lighting is a major step forward in achieving sustainability.
BLY 2 – Next Phase







Distribute one LED bulb to the BPL consumers who have been provided electricity
connection under RGGVY scheme.
BEE will Provide technical assistance for implementation and monitoring and verification of
individual project.
Scheme target is to avoid generation capacity of 556 MW
Target energy savings 2920 MU per year
Promotion of high energy efficient LED lighting technology
Help in reducing peak demand shortage
Approximate 20 Million LEDs will be distributed under this scheme.
SEEP – LEDs


Super-Efficient Equipment Programme (SEEP) programme for LEDs aims to
distribute 25 million LED bulbs to grid connected consumers at a subsidized
price.
This will help to overcome the high first cost barrier of LED bulbs and provide
mass penetration of LED bulbs in the domestic and commercial sectors in the
coming years.
18
DSM Initiative
• 4 LEDs per residential house will be distributed to residential
households in exchange of 4 incandescent lamps (ICL).
• The reduction in connected load as a result of replacement will be
50W/lamp considering 60W incandescent lamp to be replaced by
10W of LED
• Objective is to overcome this first cost barrier to promote LEDs by
using the basic architecture of Bachat Lamp Yojana (BLY).
• It would leverage DSM for recovering investment, much in the same
manner as CDM was used by BLY.
• Implementing Agency – ESCOs/EESL (Energy Efficiency Services Ltd.)
• Recovery Mechanism
• Guaranteed Savings
• Suitable Incentives
19
• BEE initiated a Nationwide program “LED Village Campaign”
• BEE proposes to convert the existing incandescent bulbs (ILB)
in the households and the street lights of one village with
LEDs.
• The objective is to showcase the new technology for lighting
using LED so that a comparison can be demonstrated between
LED and ILBs
• Facilitate the State Governments in replicating these
demonstration projects
• A maximum support to the tune of Rs. 15.00 lakhs (≈$25,000)
is being provided by BEE
• Demo project on energy efficient street lighting implemented
at Dimapur (Nagaland), Dibrugarh (Assam), Gandhinagar (Gujarat) and
Bangalore (Karnataka), Aurangabad (Maharashtra), Dehradun (Uttarakhand),
Gurgaon (Haryana)….

Demonstration : LED Street Light
Industry penetration to LED Business
• 12 large, 15 Medium and about 600 small manufacturers in LED
business
• All major chip manufacturers have based offices in India
• Binning and Packaging started in India
• Tie up with major Global Luminaire manufacturers by most of large
companies to start manufacture in India
