Infralectric, a company under the Brillanz Group, announced on Thursday the launch of Pakistan’s first-ever Green Sukuk specifically for the telecom sector, alongside the completion of a AI-powered Energy-Storage-as-a-Service (ESaaS) deployment.
The Shariah-compliant instrument, which features a principal guarantee—valued at up to billion—is being developed in collaboration with InfraZamin Pakistan to finance low-carbon, AI-enabled upgrades across the nation’s telecom tower infrastructure.
Powered by Thunder AI, Infralectric’s ESaaS solution effectively replaces a significant portion of diesel generator runtime with efficient battery storage and intelligent controls across participating tower sites.
Company projections indicate this initiative will result in annual savings of over million litres of diesel, substantially improve system uptime, and achieve emissions reductions of approximately tonnes of CO₂ per year—a positive environmental impact equivalent to planting more than trees annually.
“This is a historic moment for Pakistan’s digital and energy future,” said Bilal Qureshi, CEO of Brillanz Group. 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.”
Calling the day “historic,” Fahd Haroon, Minister of State and Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Digital Media, stated that these initiatives illustrate how collaboration can successfully modernize tower infrastructure, dramatically cut carbon emissions, and create scalable green investments that strengthen both the national 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 further remarked.
Maheen Rahman, CEO of InfraZamin Pakistan, described Infralectric as “a prime candidate for the sukuk market,” adding that the financial structure is specifically designed to unlock sustainable finance for the telecom sector through innovative credit guarantees that mobilize private capital at scale and bolster climate-resilient infrastructure. “Such initiatives not only modernize critical digital infrastructure but also contribute to Pakistan’s decarbonization and long-term economic resilience,” she concluded.
Telecom towers in Pakistan have historically relied heavily on diesel gensets to bridge persistent power gaps. Infralectric’s new model shifts these sites towards battery-first, AI-managed operations, while the green sukuk offers a replicable, Sharia-compliant financing pathway for wider rollout across the national network.
