New Delhi: The people of Jharkhand have emerged as national leaders in adopting energy-efficient lighting solutions, surpassing dominant states like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Delhi. According to data from EESLMart.in, the innovative e-marketplace launched by Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture of PSUs under the Ministry of Power, Jharkhand’s consumers have outperformed other states by embracing the 5-star 6-watt bulbs through EESLMart.in, showcasing a strong commitment to sustainable energy practices.
The 5-star 6-watt bulb available on EESLMart.in consumes only 6 watts of power, which is comparable to the energy usage of a night lamp, yet provides light output equivalent to that of a 9 to 10-watt LED bulb.
As per data from EESLMart.in, Tripura citizens secured the second spot in adopting the energy-efficient 6-watt bulb, with Maharashtra closely following in third place. Surprisingly, states like Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, despite being home to major metropolitan cities, fell behind.
The full list of top-performing states is as follows:
| Sl. No. | STATE |
| 1 | Jharkhand |
| 2 | Tripura |
| 3 | Maharashtra |
| 4 | Tamil Nadu |
| 5 | Telangana |

| 8 | West Bengal |
| 9 | Haryana |
| 10 | Karnataka |
Smaller Cities Take the Spotlight
In Jharkhand, cities such as Koderma, Seraikela, and Sahibganj have led the way, securing spots in the top-10 in the country. This trend is mirrored across India, with smaller cities like Kolhapur in Maharashtra and Agartala in Tripura surpassing major metropolitan areas like Delhi and Mumbai.
This shift highlights a significant change in consumer behavior, with residents of smaller cities increasingly adopting sustainable practices over traditional metro hubs.
Speaking on the achievement, Shri Vishal Kapoor, CEO of EESL, said: “The growing uptake of energy-efficient products is a testament to the increasing awareness of sustainable solutions among citizens. We urge consumers in all states to embrace energy-efficient products and join the journey toward a greener future. This milestone inspires us to continue empowering every household in India with affordable and innovative energy-efficient solutions.”
