New Delhi, 29 January 2024: The people of Jharkhand have emerged as national leaders in adopting energy-efficient lighting solutions, surpassing dominant states like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Delhi. According to data from EESLMart.in, the innovative e-marketplace launched by Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture of PSUs under the Ministry of Power, Jharkhand’s consumers have outperformed other states by embracing the 5-star 6-watt bulbs through EESLMart.in, showcasing a strong commitment to sustainable energy practices.
The 5-star 6-watt bulb available on EESLMart.in consumes only 6 watts of power, which is comparable to the energy usage of a night lamp, yet provides light output equivalent to that of a 9 to 10-watt LED bulb.
As per data from EESLMart.in, Tripura citizens secured the second spot in adopting the energy-efficient 6-watt bulb, with Maharashtra closely following in third place. Surprisingly, states like Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, despite being home to major metropolitan cities, fell behind.
Smaller Cities Take the Spotlight
In Jharkhand, cities such as Koderma, Seraikela, and Sahibganj have led the way, securing spots in the top-10 in the country. This trend is mirrored across India, with smaller cities like Kolhapur in Maharashtra and Agartala in Tripura surpassing major metropolitan areas like Delhi and Mumbai.
This shift highlights a significant change in consumer behavior, with residents of smaller cities increasingly adopting sustainable practices over traditional metro hubs.
Speaking on the achievement, Shri Vishal Kapoor, CEO of EESL, said: “The growing uptake of energy-efficient products is a testament to the increasing awareness of sustainable solutions among citizens. We urge consumers in all states to embrace energy-efficient products and join the journey toward a greener future. This milestone inspires us to continue empowering every household in India with affordable and innovative energy-efficient solutions.”
The leadership shown by Jharkhand people in energy-efficient lighting serves as a model for other states, demonstrating the power of local communities in driving nationwide sustainability efforts.
