Bajaj Electricals announced that it has played a pivotal role in illuminating a part of the Mumbai Coastal Road Project – Mumbai’s longest intra-city underground road that was inaugurated at hands of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on March 11, 2024.
The Mumbai Coastal Road Project, featuring twin tunnels stretching from Princess Street Flyover to Priyadarshani Park spanning 3.93 km, presented unique challenges in tunnel lighting design and implementation.
Bajaj Electricals rose to the occasion, deploying state-of-the-art LED technology and smart control systems to ensure optimal visibility, safety, and energy efficiency throughout the tunnels, the company said.
Bajaj Electricals’ solution for the Mumbai Coastal Road Project comprises best-in-class LED luminaires and a sophisticated smart lighting control system. The high-performance LED fixtures feature a specialized tunnel lighting optics design, meticulously engineered to deliver optimal illumination throughout the tunnels. These luminaires are equipped with fire retardant polycarbonate lenses, compliant with UL94, V0 Grade standards, ensuring complete safety in the event of emergencies. Complementing this advanced lighting technology is a dynamic lighting control system that seamlessly adjusts brightness levels in real-time, based on prevailing conditions such as traffic flow and weather. Moreover, Bajaj Electricals has integrated this control system with the MCGM – Command and Control Centre, providing authorities with enhanced monitoring and control capabilities for improved operational efficiency and safety.
Anuj Poddar, Managing Director & CEO of Bajaj Electricals commented, “As we celebrate this momentous occasion, we recognise the significance of our role in shaping the future of urban infrastructure.
