Streetlights along Noida expressway make way for LEDs

Noida: LED lights, which have replaced traditional streetlamps along the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway in India, were inaugurated on Friday evening. The Noida Authority has decided to replace around 74,000 streetlamps in the city with LEDs by next year, a move that is expected to reduce power consumption by more than 50%. Noida Authority CEO Alok Tandon said the expression of interest for the project was released last year in July and Tata Projects Ltd had bagged the tender two months ago for replacing streetlamps in the city with LEDs and maintaining them for seven years.
