Airtel migrates 40,000 network sites to green technology

Bharti Airtel has migrated 40,000 of its network sites to green technology. These green network sites are designed to operate largely on battery hybrid, lithium-ion and solar hybrid solutions with very little diesel consumption. The migration is a part of the operator’s ongoing network transformation programme “Project Leap”, which is focusing on a series of fresh initiatives towards a greener environment and building a sustainable network for the future. Under this project, Bharti Airtel will establish a future-ready network, while committing to bring down its carbon footprint emission by 70 per cent by 2018.
