As DIPA continues its efforts to realise a zero-carbon mission, this alliance will accelerate the deployment of green energy solutions across India’s digital infrastructure.

Ambika Khurana, Chief Regulatory and Corporate Affairs Officer at Vodafone Idea and Director of the Vi Foundation, added, “Vi is committed to leading the telecom sector’s transition to sustainable operations. Our collaboration with DIPA aligns with our broader environmental goals and strengthens our commitment to responsible business practices. By working together on green energy initiatives and infrastructure transformation, we are setting new standards for sustainability within the industry and contributing meaningfully to India’s climate goals.”
The announcement comes at a time when India’s telecom sector is undergoing rapid expansion, driven by increasing demand for digital connectivity in both urban and rural areas.
