Bharti Airtel is stepping up its presence in India’s fast-growing data center space, announcing a fresh $1 billion investment into its subsidiary Nxtra. The move comes as demand for AI-ready infrastructure continues to rise across enterprises, cloud providers, and government projects.
The funding round, backed by Alpha Wave Global, Carlyle, and Anchorage Capital, values Nxtra at around $3.1 billion. Bharti Airtel will also participate in the investment and continue to hold a controlling stake in the company, subject to regulatory approvals.
