Infralectric, a Brillanz Group company, announced on Thursday the launch of Pakistan’s first Green Sukuk for the telecom sector and the successful completion of a 25 MWh AI-powered Energy-Storage-as-a-Service (ESaaS) deployment.
The Shariah-compliant, 100% principal-guaranteed sukuk, valued up to Rs3 billion, is being developed in collaboration with InfraZamin Pakistan. Its purpose is to finance the adoption of low-carbon, AI-enabled upgrades across telecom tower infrastructure nationwide.
Powered by Thunder AI, Infralectric’s ESaaS solution replaces substantial diesel generator runtime with intelligent battery storage and controls at participating tower sites. Company data projects that this transition will result in annual savings of over 5 million liters of diesel, improved uptime, and a reduction in annual CO₂ emissions of approximately 13,500 tonnes—equivalent to planting more than 220,000 trees every year.
Government and Partners Hail Collaboration as Historic for Digital Future
Bilal Qureshi, CEO of Brillanz Group, called the moment “historic for Pakistan’s digital and energy future.” He added that pairing the Thunder AI-powered ESaaS with the first green sukuk for the telecom sector “shows innovation and sustainability can drive growth together.”
Fahd Haroon, Minister of State and Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Digital Media, also described the day as “historic,” emphasizing that the initiatives demonstrate how collaboration can modernize tower infrastructure, cut carbon emissions, and create scalable green investments that simultaneously strengthen the economy and the environment. “The government remains committed to supporting such progress, where finance, technology and sustainability converge to build Pakistan’s digital future and advance our climate commitments,” he stated.
Maheen Rahman, CEO of InfraZamin Pakistan, identified Infralectric as “a prime candidate for the sukuk market.” She explained that the financing structure is designed to unlock sustainable finance for the telecom sector through innovative credit guarantees that mobilize private capital at scale and support climate-resilient infrastructure. “Such initiatives modernize critical digital infrastructure and also contribute to Pakistan’s decarbonization and long-term economic resilience,” she concluded.
Traditionally, telecom towers in Pakistan have relied heavily on diesel gensets to bridge power shortfalls. Infralectric’s model is shifting these sites towards battery-first, AI-managed operations, while the green sukuk provides a repeatable, Sharia-compliant financing blueprint for wider rollout across the network.
