Nxtra by Airtel and AMPIN Energy Transition have strengthened their partnership with a new power-wheeling agreement involving 125.65 MW of solar-wind hybrid energy through Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) connected plants. The agreement, announced on July 28, 2025, will provide an additional 205,167 MWh of renewable energy supply to Nxtra's operations.

With this new agreement, the total renewable energy partnership between the two companies has crossed over 200 MW. The additional green power will allow for low-carbon computing and reduce Nxtra emissions by approximately 149,156 tCO2e annually.

Project Implementation and Geographic Scope

The additional capacity will be delivered to Nxtra in two phases, each through captive solar-wind power projects in Rajasthan and Karnataka, respectively. AMPIN has been supplying solar power to Nxtra through intra-state, open access in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Odisha.

With this new agreement, AMPIN will add 11 new states as well as new technologies such as large-scale ISTS renewable energy supply and the seamless supply of renewable energy from a single Independent Power Producer (IPP). The ISTS Solar-Wind Hybrid project is set to deliver almost real time, pan-India green power.

Strategic Impact and Sustainability Goals

This initiative will maximize Nxtra's infrastructure efficiency, drive deeper decarbonization, and advance operational excellence, reinforcing its position as India's leader in sustainable data center solutions. The partnership demonstrates how large-scale, renewable energy partnerships can drive system-wide efficiency and decarbonisation.

Driven by its Net Zero commitment, which is now SBTi aligned, Nxtra by Airtel continues to accelerate its sustainable initiatives by enabling large-scale decarbonisation of its digital infrastructure. The company has adopted multiple interventions to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its operations.

Nxtra joined the global RE100 initiative in June 2024, pledging to source 100% of its electricity from renewable sources and becoming the first data centre in India and the 14th Indian company to join the initiative.

Executive Leadership Perspectives

Ashish Arora, CEO of Nxtra by Airtel, stated: "Sustainability is not just a commitment, it is our responsibility and our opportunity to lead. By powering our digital infrastructure with over 200 MW of renewable energy through our partnership with AMPIN, we are setting new standards for the industry.
