The central government has expanded the Ujala Program 2026 to include energy-efficient LED tubelights and ceiling fans alongside LED bulbs. Citizens can purchase these items through the CSC Digital Seva Portal, with minimum order requirements set at 50 units for LED bulbs, 20 for tubelights, and 4 for fans. Village Level Entrepreneurs (VLEs) are now authorized to place bulk orders for these appliances at digitalseva.csc.gov.in, while the official Ujala Program dashboard is available at ujala.gov.in.
The Ujala Scheme (Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All) is a flagship initiative by the Modi administration designed to boost national energy conservation. These high-efficiency devices are distributed through Common Service Centers, allowing the public to acquire them at significantly subsidized rates.
VLEs can pick up their orders from local Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) distribution hubs. All products, including bulbs, tubelights, and fans, come with a manufacturer's warranty ranging from 2.5 to 3 years. You can view the full catalog of services available at Indian CSCs here.
Overview of the Ujala Program 2026
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has championed the LED bulb as a "Prakash Path" (Path to Light). Starting with a symbolic replacement of lights at the South Block office, this initiative has grown into a nationwide movement promoting energy conservation as a core government priority.
The UJALA program is focused on residential energy efficiency. By aggregating consumer demand, the scheme lowers the upfront purchase costs of LED technology, making it accessible to all households. Originally introduced as the Domestic Efficient Lighting Program (DELP), it was rebranded as UJALA to reflect its expanded scope.
