These smart lights will be monitored in real time from the Integrated Command and Control Center (ICCC) and other remote monitoring centers, GMDA officials said.

GMDA Executive Engineer Amina Chawla said that smart street lights will benefit commuters and improve safety on city roads. “Using a cloud-based application, officials will be able to micro-manage and control the functioning of these lights,” he said.

The move comes in the backdrop of residents complaining of dark spots and increasing incidents of snatching and vehicle lifting from these sectors, an official said.

Using advanced technology, smart lights can also detect power theft, in addition to other features such as dimming during off-peak traffic hours and individual operation, street-by-street, officials said.

Currently, lights are being installed on the master roads dividing Sectors 76-77, 75A-76, 75-75A, 73-74, 71-73, 70-75 70-70A, 68-69 and 68-70A. . The work is being completed at approx. 5 crore, a GMDA official said.

In the second phase of the project, the GMDA is planning to install around 900-1,000 additional smart street lights on 13.5 km of roads in the city.
