New Delhi: Havells India, a player in the lighting and fixture segment, electrical and power equipment sector in India is entering the Light-emitting-Diodes (LED) market.
Havells Sylvania (Global Operations) has set a target of 50 million euros turnover from LED segment in the next two years while Havells India would target a revenue of 
100 crore by 2012 from the domestic market. The company has set-up a lighting R&D centre at its existing plant at Neemrana, Rajasthan for the purpose. The LED product range of company called Endura would include spotlights, downlights, commercial lights and street lights
Anil Gupta, Joint Managing Director, Havells India said, "While the LED lighting segment is at a very nascent stage in India, we see ourselves leading the growth of this highly potential segment of the lighting industry." He further added that the government's focus on the complete electrification of the households by 2012 would be a big trigger for the lighting industry in India.
LED Lightings consume 80 percent less energy than traditional sources and is four times more energy efficient than regular incandescent lamps. The longer lifetime and environment friendliness makes LED a better choice over the traditional lamps. LEDs are ideal for use in applications that are subject to frequent on-off cycling.
The company is committed to developing energy savings devices which at present include CFL's, lighting, fans, motors, capacitors, cables and digital lighting control systems. Havells intends to have 80 percent of its turnover from the energy savings products by 2012.
In continuation of its drive towards developing energy efficient products, Havells has put a Lighting Design Centre and Energy Management Cell at Noida. The centre would advise as to how a unit can reduce its energy bill without cutting down on light required.
