IN: Haryana: Gurugram's 1.12 Lakh Streetlights To Be Controlled Via Mobile App In Smart City Upgrade
The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram has announced plans to introduce a mobile app-based system to operate and monitor street lights across the city, as officials move to improve maintenance efficiency and strengthen smart city infrastructure.
The initiative will bring approximately 1.12 lakh streetlights under digital control, replacing the old practice where workers manually switched lights on and off across different parts of the city.
The new system will allow officials to operate and monitor streetlights remotely through a digital platform, eliminating the need to send workers to manually switch lights on or off.
Instead, operators will manage the entire network from a control centre, with the ability to control multiple lights simultaneously and schedule automatic switching based on sunset and sunrise timings.
The platform will continuously monitor electricity consumption and lighting performance across the city.
Currently, about 20,000 lights are already connected to the Centralised Control and Monitoring System network through 798 control panels installed across different sectors and road networks.
However, officials have approved the installation of around 500 additional control panels, which will connect nearly 50,000 more streetlights to the centralised system.
The tender process for installing these panels has already started, with work set to begin soon after final approvals and contractor selection.
The centralised monitoring system will deliver several long-term benefits, including reduced electricity wastage through automated schedules that ensure streetlights turn on and off at precise times.
Maintenance teams will receive instant alerts when a light stops functioning, allowing technicians to resolve problems quickly instead of waiting for public complaints.
For years, Gurugram's streetlights operated through manual systems, which often created operational challenges such as lights remaining switched on during daylight hours or staying off during nighttime, creating safety concerns for residents and motorists.
