Nxtra by Airtel has taken another major step towards sustainability by expanding its partnership with AMPIN Energy Transition. The two companies have signed a new power-wheeling agreement for 125.65 MW of solar-wind hybrid energy through Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS)-connected plants. With this, their total renewable energy collaboration now exceeds 200 MW.
This additional green energy capacity will be supplied to Nxtra in two phases through captive projects located in Rajasthan and Karnataka. Until now, AMPIN has been delivering solar power to Nxtra’s data centres via intra-state open access in states like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Odisha. Under the new agreement, AMPIN will expand its renewable energy footprint to 11 more states and bring in advanced ISTS-connected projects and large-scale energy delivery from a single Independent Power Producer (IPP).
The move aims to enhance Nxtra’s infrastructure efficiency, reduce its carbon footprint, and solidify its position as the country’s leading provider of sustainable data centre solutions. AMPIN’s scalable energy solutions and focus on long-term partnerships continue to set the benchmark in India’s renewable energy space.
Nxtra is aligning its efforts with its Net Zero goal, now officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). It has also joined the global RE100 initiative in June 2024, becoming the first data centre company in India—and only the 14th Indian company overall—to commit to sourcing 100% of its electricity from renewables.
With this expanded alliance, Nxtra and AMPIN aim to show how large-scale renewable energy partnerships can reshape the digital infrastructure landscape through innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.
