Indus Towers says 50,000 sites now use solar power
In short
Indus Towers says it has put solar power at 50,000 sites and wants to double that by FY29. It also says battery storage and energy-management systems helped cut energy costs by 8-10% per kilowatt and reduce diesel use.
This matters because lower power costs can help the company. The report does not say how much the plan will save in the future or when the next sites will be added.

Why it matters
Indus Towers says it has equipped 50,000 sites with solar power and plans to double that number by FY29. The company says battery storage and energy-management systems helped cut energy costs by 8-10% per kilowatt and reduce diesel consumption.
