Submarine optic fibre infra booms as Google, Meta pour in dollars; data rivalry with local telcos in the offing
Bharti Airtel and Tata Communications amid a data centre boom.
Opportunities are also opening up for neutral players such as Sify Technologies and Lightstorm — that offer cheaper landing infrastructure in India compared with telecom incumbents such as Airtel and Tata Communications, say industry insiders. Google is set to commission its Blue-Raman Submarine Cable System in Mumbai in the first quarter of 2025, people aware of the development told ET.
The $400-million, 218-Tbps (terabits per second) capacity project entails investment by Italy's Sparkle too, among others. With Blue and Raman, Google now has 18 investments in subsea cables globally.
Meta is working on a $10-billion, 500-Tbps mega subsea cable within the next three years. It plans to cross this cable through India — among the largest markets for consumer and enterprise artificial intelligence (AI).
