Sustainability at Mumbai Data Centre

We strive to be environmentally and socially responsible.

At our Colt Mumbai Data Centre, we strive to be environmentally and socially responsible. That’s why we are using 100% renewable energy to power this recently launched hyperscale facility to reduce our carbon footprint.

In 2023, we were awarded a Platinum Rating pre-certification by the India Green Building Council (IGBC) for the design of our Colt Mumbai Data Centre. IGBC is India's premier certification body for the greening of projects across residential, commercial, and industrial segments. Its green rating system uses stringent criteria through a credit scoring classification that analyses sustainable practices and solutions to determine how these reduce the impact on the environment.

For data centres, the rating system addresses a number of different aspects including site selection and planning, innovation and design, building material and resources, quality of the indoor environment, water conservation, energy efficiency, and operational maintenance.

By being awarded the Platinum Rating, this is the highest recognition in the rating system which considers our Colt Mumbai Data Centre to be the standard of global leadership status.
