A number of new cable systems set to come online by 2025 are expected to quadruple the country’s data transmission capacity.
The main idea is that India is investing heavily in new undersea cables to significantly increase its data transmission capacity. This overhaul will position India as a key player in global data infrastructure, enhancing its technological influence and potentially rivaling existing global data hubs. The initiative is driven by growing demand for data services, the rise of AI, and the expanding data centre market. International tech giants and Indian companies are collaborating on this project, which also has strategic geopolitical implications.
