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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
