Nxtra by Airtel Data Centers in Africa

Note: We are not affiliated with the data centers or companies listed below. Listings are compiled from public sources and have not been independently confirmed by us — please verify directly with the company before relying on this information.

Nxtra by Airtel’s African footprint stands at 2 confirmed facilities, in Tatu City, Kenya, and Lagos, Nigeria — a much earlier-stage presence than the company’s mature 20-facility Indian network. This is deliberate: Airtel Africa launched Nxtra as a dedicated data center business only in December 2023, with Lagos serving as the first site and Tatu City as the second in a planned five-site hyperscale rollout across the continent, eventually intended to reach roughly 180 MW of combined capacity across 13 major data centers and more than 48 edge sites. Nigeria and Kenya represent Africa’s two largest and most competitive data center markets, both benefiting from proximity to major international submarine cable systems — Airtel has stakes in the 2Africa and Equiano cables — while future Nxtra sites are reportedly planned at cable landing stations in Tanzania, DRC, and Gabon, extending the network well beyond these first two countries.

Nxtra by Airtel currently has confirmed facilities across 2 countries in Africa.

A human decides whether each page is published, but individual facts — addresses, contact details, and whether a company operates in a given location — are not independently fact-checked by us. Where you see a “Verified” badge, it means multiple independent sources agreed, not that we personally confirmed it.
