The estimated cost for the entire LED floodlight upgrade will be an estimated INR 4.5 million (US $67,436.01).
Current floodlights were installed during 1989 to 1993, as a step to deter smugglers, intruders, and other illegal border activities. However, there were certain delays in the project and it was not finished on time, said BSF Rajasthan Frontier IG B R Meghwal. In an attempt towards power consumption, the Central government planned to replace existing floodlights with LEDs.
