A Strong Upward Trend: India’s LED lighting industry is experiencing significant, double-digit growth, due to quick urbanization, infrastructure growth, and increased attention on energy efficiency from both sectors.
The UJALA scheme and SLNP, with support from the government, helped to make LEDs the main type of light in the country.
Rising numbers of smart LED lighting systems are being demanded, due to IoT and automation, mainly in the commercial and industrial fields, as India seeks to embrace both smart cities and eco-friendly buildings.
Make in India and the PLI schemes launched by the government encourage the growth of LED component manufacturing in India, making it an export leader in the sector.
According to a new report by UnivDatos, the India LED Lighting Market is expected to reach USD Million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 14.50% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). The increased use of energy-saving lighting in both city and rural locations is pushing market development. The government is supporting LEDs by offering incentives and launching extensive public lighting programs. With the rise in affordability, major consumers can now purchase LED products. Moreover, the surge in innovation in lighting technology is pushing manufacturers to come up with new products. As per the Ministry of Power, as of 6th January 2025, EESL successfully installed over 1.34 crore LED streetlights across Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and Gram Panchayats, leading to significant energy savings of over 9,001 million units (MUs) of electricity annually. This achievement has also contributed to a reduction in peak demand by more than 1,500 MW and a decrease in CO₂ emissions by 6.2 million tonnes per year, highlighting the programme’s positive impact on both energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.

Important Government Initiatives for the adoption of LED lights:
The Street Lighting National Program (SLNP) and UJALA have remained the biggest demand generators for LED lights in India. Such initiatives are designed to let people know that they should choose LED lights over incandescent, CFL, and halogen bulbs.
UJALA’s Decade of Impact:
Street Lighting National Programme (SLNP):
According to the report, the impact of LED Lighting has been identified to be high for the South India area. Some of how this impact has been felt include:
South India is expected to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period because South India is thriving because it has a thriving industrial sector, especially in Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad. The growth in IT and commercial real estate is leading to a greater need for panels and downlights. Authorities in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Telangana are advocating for energy conservation, which helps spread the use of LEDs. Retail being widespread and most consumers being comfortable with technology, are allowing companies to introduce new types of products directly online. For instance, in August 2024, Karnataka approved an INR 684-crore plan to switch Bengaluru streetlights to LED. The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike is replacing around three lakh streetlights with LED lights.
