As usual, thieves have been active in defeating the government's ambitious scheme to promote LED lighting. Not only are they stealing tax revenue of the government, they are also exposing the gullible public to huge health hazards. According to a study conducted by Nielson for Elcoma across 4 major Indian cities of New Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Hyderabad, 76% of LED bulb brands and 71% of LED downlighter brands across 200 electrical retail outlets were found to be non-compliant with consumer safety standards. These violate mandated norms for lighting products by the Bureau of Indian Standards and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India. These spurious products pose a serious safety hazard for consumers besides causing a significant loss in tax revenues for the government, as they are illegally manufactured and sold. The findings from the key markets surveyed showed that 48% of LED bulb brands had no mention of manufacturer's address and 31 percent brands did not have a manufacturer's name, showing that these brands violate Indian Legal Metrology regulations and are manufactured illegally. As per ELCOMA (Electric Lamp and Component Manufacturers' Association), the total LED Market in India is worth Rs. 10,000 crore, with LED bulbs and downlighters constituting 50 percent of overall LED market, being widely used in homes, offices, and workspaces.
