# DDA to replace 1,980 street lights in Dwarka by Oct 2026-08-08T22:46:23+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Delhi Development Authority will spend nearly Rs 10 crore to modernise street lighting on master plan roads in Dwarka, with a completion deadline of October this year. The Times of India reports that about 1,500 11-metre and 480 seven-metre galvanised iron octagonal poles will replace old mild steel poles installed between 1999 and 2001, which have exceeded their 20-year service life. Existing LED fittings will be reused. The project covers 18 sectors and major roads. Residents, however, have questioned the quality of fixtures, saying some recently installed lights are inferior to two-decade-old ones. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: DDA, Delhi, Dwarka, infrastructure, street lights Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/dda-to-replace-1980-street-lights-in-dwarka-by-oct/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
