Tata Communications Commits $450M to 10,000 km AI Fiber Network
NEW DELHI – October 29, 2026 -- Tata Communications will invest close to USD 450 million to build an AI super highway in India, a network of around 10,000 kilometers of new long-haul fiber linking the country's key AI data-centre corridors.
The network will integrate with the company's global backbone. It is designed to give customers end-to-end connectivity for AI workloads that require low latency, resilience and scale.
Phase one targets the Mumbai-Pune-Hyderabad-Chennai corridor
The first phase covers the Mumbai-Pune-Hyderabad-Chennai route, which Tata Communications describes as one of India's most important AI and hyperscale growth corridors.
Later phases will extend to emerging East Coast and Western India data centre ecosystems, including Vizag, Bhubaneswar, Jamnagar and GIFT City. The routes will connect data centre clusters to international cable landing stations, linking India with major global AI hubs.
