Delhi is set to receive 20,000 smart streetlights by Diwali, according to reports. The new lights are described as “smart” with real-time monitoring capabilities, enabling authorities to track performance and respond to issues more quickly.
The rollout is part of a broader project to replace about 1 lakh older streetlights across the city. Sources say the larger upgrade uses smart LED technology and is scheduled to be completed by January 2027. While both outlets focus on the Diwali milestone, the wider context differs mainly in emphasis: one highlights the number being delivered by the festival, while the other stresses the monitoring features and the overall timeline for the full replacement program.
Together, the accounts indicate a phased deployment that begins with 20,000 lights ahead of Diwali and continues until the remaining older streetlights are replaced across Delhi by the end of the stated period.
