Tata Communications to Invest $450 Million in 10,000-km AI Fibre Network Across India
Tata Communications plans to invest approximately $450 million (₹4,350 crore) over the next three to five years to build a 10,000-km AI-ready fibre network across India. The project aims to connect major data centre hubs and AI corridors, enhancing high-speed, low-latency connectivity for cloud providers, enterprises, and hyperscalers. The phased expansion will focus initially on the Mumbai-Pune-Hyderabad-Chennai corridor, later extending to emerging data centre ecosystems. Funded through operating cash flows, the network is expected to add around 6 petabits per second of capacity by 2036, tapping into a growing market opportunity exceeding $1 billion.
