In a year when climate responsibility and inclusive growth are commanding boardroom attention like never before, Nxtra by Airtel, the data centre subsidiary of Bharti Airtel, has released its Sustainability Report for FY 2024–25 and the numbers tell a story of ambition backed by action.

The report underscores Nxtra’s three pronged strategy: minimising environmental impact, advancing social inclusion, and ensuring governance with transparency. From cutting carbon emissions to reshaping the workforce and building resilient supply chains, Nxtra appears determined to set new benchmarks for India’s digital infrastructure industry.
A Stronger Green Footprint
Nxtra reduced 188,507 tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions in FY25, a 15% improvement over the previous year. Nearly 49% of the energy consumed across its core facilities came from renewable sources, a significant step in an industry notorious for heavy energy demands. The company has also contracted 482,800 MWh of renewable energy sourcing—triple its baseline of 2021.
Perhaps most notably, Nxtra became the first data centre player in India and the 14th company nationally to join the RE100 initiative, committing to run entirely on renewable energy in the years ahead. This move not only puts Nxtra in a small league of global sustainability leaders but also raises the bar for competitors in the fast-growing Indian data centre market.

Complementing this transition to cleaner energy is the deployment of artificial intelligence at scale to drive energy efficiency. By reducing average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) by 10% compared to FY21, Nxtra is signaling how digital infrastructure can become both smarter and greener.
