The work happens in three phases, starting with a corridor connecting Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad and Chennai, with later phases reaching Vizag, Bhubaneswar, Jamnagar and GIFT City. The build adds about 6 petabits per second of capacity on top of the company's current 1.25 petabits per second network in India, arriving between the 2030 and 2036 financial years. The project is funded from operating cash flow, according to those reports, and will connect to the company's existing 700,000km of undersea and land fibre. It builds on an earlier 18,000km fibre build for Amazon Web Services due to finish by the end of 2026. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
