What is Ujala Scheme 2022

• Hon’ble Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi described the LED bulb as the “Prakash Path” or “way to light”. A simple act of change of one light bulb to LED at the South Block Prime Minister’s office heralded a movement in the entire country for considering the same change. The initiative is part of the Government of India’s efforts to spread the message of energy efficiency in the country. UJALA scheme aims to promote efficient use of energy at the residential level; enhance the awareness of consumers about the efficacy of using energy-efficient appliances and aggregate demand to reduce the high initial costs thus facilitating higher uptake of LED lights by residential users. It may be noted that the scheme was initially labeled DELP (Domestic Efficient Lighting Program) and was relaunched as UJALA.

Eligibility Criteria for Purchase of LEDs

• Every domestic household having a metered connection from their respective Electricity Distribution Company is eligible to get the LED bulbs under the UJALA Scheme. The consumer can purchase the LED on EMI payment (monthly/bimonthly installments in electricity bill) or on upfront payment by paying the full amount. The consumer needs to carry the following documents to get the UJALA LED bulb:
• For EMI – Copy of latest electricity bill and copy of Government authorized ID proof.
• For Upfront – Copy of Government authorized ID proof.

Where and How to Procure LED bulbs in Ujala Scheme

• UJALA LED bulbs are being distributed through special counters (kiosks) set up at designated places in a city. These will not be available at retail stores. The location details of distribution counters is available at www.ujala.gov.in, wherein the locations are geo-tagged for consumer convenience.

Objectives of the Ujala Scheme

• Creating awareness about energy efficiency across the country.
• To promote efficient use of energy at the resident level.
• Aggregating demand for use of energy-efficient appliances.
• To reduce the initial cost to facilitate higher uptake of LED lights.
• Now with the introduction of LED Tubelights and Fans along with the bulbs, the Central govt. wants to fulfill these objectives.

Price of Appliances in the Ujala Scheme

• UJALA appliances can be purchased at Rs. 70 per LED bulb, Rs. 220 per LED tube light, and Rs. 1110 per Fan. The price of appliances consists of components such as the price of bulb, distribution, and awareness cost, which is discovered through competitive bidding, Annual Maintenance Cost (AMC), cost of capital, and administrative costs.

Ujala Scheme Complaint Registration Process

• Complaints during distribution can be addressed at our distribution agency’s customer care center number which is publicized in our advertisements and awareness drives. EESL has ensured that a toll-free helpline number, corresponding to the manufacturer, is printed on the UJALA LED bulb box as well as the consent deed (payment receipt). Once the duration of the distribution is over the consumers can contact the respective manufacturer via these helpline numbers and seek a replacement of the bulb. The respective manufacturer will guide the consumer to the nearest retail outlet, at which the bulbs with technical flaws can be replaced
• EESL maintains a robust social media response system, where users can Tweet their complaints to EESL’s Twitter handle @EESL_India.
