Smart monitoring to improve Kolkata street lighting

The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has partnered with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to implement a smart, digitised street lighting system across multiple city zones.

The IoT-based system will allow central monitoring of lights, automated dimming and real-time alerts for faults.

A pilot project is planned in Alipore and Kalighat, with possible expansion across the city based on its performance, reported The Times of India.

Officials said the system is expected to improve energy efficiency and reliability of street lighting infrastructure.
