Singapore strengthens data hub role with new India subsea links

The new capacity targets Asia’s growing cloud, AI, and enterprise traffic.

Singapore is set to gain additional subsea connectivity capacity as Tata Communications expands its network linking the country with India’s technology hubs.

The company said it is strengthening its Tata Global Network (TGN) through new subsea cable investments, including a cable system connecting Mumbai and Singapore, as well as a consortium-led project linking Chennai and Singapore that is expected to be ready for service in the fourth quarter of 2029.

The new route is expected to support growing data traffic between Singapore and India, driven by demand from cloud providers, data centres, enterprises, and AI infrastructure operators.

As a major digital hub in Southeast Asia, Singapore serves as a critical connectivity gateway for regional and global data flows.

The expansion will increase network capacity and provide additional route diversity, supporting businesses that require faster and more resilient connections across Singapore, India, and the broader Asia-Pacific region.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
