Bharti Airtel’s data centre unit Nxtra lined up a new green energy agreement with Ampin Energy Transition, which will supply an additional 125.7MW of solar and wind power to reduce the carbon footprint of its infrastructure.

The new deal increases the total renewable energy supply to India-based Nxtra from Ampin to more than 200MW.

The additional capacity will be delivered in two phases through solar-wind power projects in Rajasthan and Karnataka. Ampin currently supplies solar power to Nxtra in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Odisha.

Nxtra CEO Ashish Arora noted by “powering our digital infrastructure with more than 200MW of renewable energy, we are setting new standards for the industry”.

In June 2024, it pledged to source 100 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources, joining the global RE100 initiative.

Nxtra operates 12 data centres and 120 edge facilities across India.
