The demand for light-emitting diode (LED) lights has picked up remarkably in India since 2014. This rising demand has been primarily driven by the Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All (UJALA) programme. However, the demand for incandescent bulbs (ICB) still remains high, though it is declining gradually. In 2017, about 770 million ICBs were sold in India, accounting for more than 50% of the total sales of bulbs and tube-lights in that year. This paper examines the relevant aspects of the demand and supply of various lighting options available to Indian households in order to investigate the continued usage of ICBs in India. Based on this analysis, the paper recommends a few programme and policy interventions in order to reduce and consequently eliminate the use of ICBs in India.
