India’s AI Future Powered by New Undersea Cable | Business and Finance News
Description
Microsoft and Lightstorm are teaming up with Tata Communications and Singapore Telecommunications to launch India’s newest undersea cable, I-2SEA, linking Machilipatnam to Malaysia and Singapore—aimed squarely at fueling India’s exploding AI and cloud computing needs. Stretching 3,600 km, this $1.5B project will be live by Q4 2029 and could help India’s data center capacity grow fivefold by 2030. With 95% of global internet traffic flowing through undersea cables—and India already home to 17 active ones—this move underscores the urgent need for more bandwidth as AI demand surges. Lightstorm, also eyeing an Indian IPO mid-2027, is betting big on India’s digital future.
