AI-generated, BIG CHANGE.

Tata Communications plans $400–450 million for about 10,000 km of new fibre. Phase one targets Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad and Chennai.

## The big change

- **What changed:** Tata has proposed domestic links between AI hubs, ultimately connected to its global backbone.
- **Why it matters:** The plan addresses traffic between data centres as AI capacity grows.
- **What to watch:** Later phases name Vizag, Bhubaneswar, Jamnagar and GIFT City. Delivered capacity remains unreported.

## A network still planned

Tata describes three phases but gives no completion date or measured latency for the new routes. Existing national and metro networks will expand meanwhile.
