Narendra Modi government's programme to get consumers to replace less
efficient CFL or incandescent lights with latest LED bulbs is gaining
momentum, with the number of bulbs distributed crossing the 2-crore mark
and generating annual savings of over Rs 1,000 crore.

The government is looking to provide 77 crore bulbs by 2018.
