India announces a $10 million project to develop LED and OLED lighting

India's Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has announced a new $10 million project to develop LED and OLED lighting, with first versions of LEDs expected by March 2012. The LED chips will be packaged with phosphor coating and converted into white LED. The target for luminous efficacy of the LED chip is 25-50 lumens/watt.

After they finish the R&D phases, they plan to transfer the technology to an Indian LED chip maker and LED packaging companies.
