According to Indian media reports, Philips Lighting, a company executives said that after receiving a large part of the Indian government LED distribution plan orders, the company is looking for opportunities to participate in India will be more than 30 million street lights into LED project.

The company is working with local municipalities to participate in the conversion of traditional lighting to LED systems.

The Government of India encourages local organizations to use LEDs to conserve energy through Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL).

"The number of street lights is different," he added, "and there are about 30 million streetlights, but it seems to me that this number will be larger because there are no street lights in India and there is still more Street light. "

In addition, Philips Lighting is also focused on India's power supply program (Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana, also known as Saubhagya), which aims to provide electricity connections to more than 40 million homes in rural and urban areas by 2018.

"At EESL, we are leading in the tender, but there is a lot of business outside of EESL," said Joshi, "and EESL is one of our biggest customers."

Philips Lighting also expanded its connected lighting portfolio through the "Hue Intelligent Lighting System" and recently opened a global remote operation center in Banakar.
