In 2023, Indus Towers conducted an environmental assessment and disclosed corporate waste management data in accordance with recognized sustainability reporting standards. The company provided a breakdown of its waste by type (hazardous vs non-hazardous) and treatment method (recovery vs disposal), enabling greater transparency into its waste handling and environmental practices.

In 2023, Indus Towers generated a total of 51,904 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 66.45% of Indus Towers's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment. 33.55% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.
Since 2023, Indus Towers's total waste generation has increased by 7.05%, which may reflect expanding operations, weaker material efficiency, or insufficient waste reduction efforts.
Since 2023, Indus Towers's hazardous waste generation has increased by 6.18%, indicating a potential rise in the use of harmful materials, process inefficiencies, or limited hazardous waste reduction strategies..
Overall, Indus Towers has seen a recent increase in both total waste and hazardous waste, which may indicate growing operational pressures or insufficient controls on harmful materials.
In 2023, Indus Towers reported that 34,490 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 66.45% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (100%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Indus Towers has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
