The Digital Infrastructure Providers Association (DIPA) and Vodafone Idea Limited (Vi) today announced a landmark strategic partnership. This collaboration is set to accelerate the adoption of green energy solutions and drive a transformative shift towards sustainable telecom infrastructure across the nation.
The core objective of this alliance is to implement cutting-edge green energy solutions, vigorously promote the Green Energy Open Access (GEOA) policy, and foster the widespread adoption of clean energy technologies throughout India’s expansive telecom infrastructure. This strategic move aligns with both organizations’ commitment to building a resilient, future-ready, and environmentally responsible digital ecosystem.
“This partnership with Vodafone Idea marks a pivotal moment in our industry’s journey toward environmental sustainability,” stated Manoj Kumar Singh, Director General of the Digital Infrastructure Providers Association. He further emphasized, “As DIPA continues its efforts to realize a zero-carbon mission, this alliance will accelerate the deployment of green energy solutions across India’s digital infrastructure. Together, we are not only building connectivity infrastructure but also a sustainable future for generations to come.”
The partnership will see DIPA and Vi working hand-in-hand to develop comprehensive frameworks for sustainable infrastructure deployment, renewable energy integration, and enhanced environmental stewardship across the entire digital value chain. A central tenet of their collaboration will be the robust implementation of the GEOA policy framework, which is crucial for facilitating broader access to renewable energy sources across telecom networks.
Ambika Khurana, Chief Regulatory and Corporate Affairs Officer at Vodafone Idea and Director of the Vi Foundation, echoed this sentiment, stating, “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.”
This timely initiative comes as India’s telecom sector undergoes unprecedented growth, driven by surging demand for digital connectivity in both urban and rural areas. Both DIPA and Vi recognize that this expansion must be environmentally sustainable to ensure the sector’s long-term resilience and viability. The partnership will also prioritize knowledge sharing, capacity building, and creating awareness about the myriad benefits of sustainable telecom infrastructure among industry stakeholders, policymakers, and the broader ecosystem.
The alliance between DIPA and Vi is anticipated to serve as a powerful catalyst for broader industry transformation, encouraging other players in the telecom ecosystem to adopt similar sustainable practices and significantly contribute to India’s ambitious climate goals.
