Meta is set to land its “Waterworth” subsea cable at Mumbai and Visakhapatnam, a move that highlights India’s growing importance in global digital infrastructure.
The project is expected to bring faster connectivity, higher bandwidth, and reduced latency for data traffic in India. It may prompt a surge of investment in data centres, cloud computing, and adjacent digital infrastructure across the country. Indian firms such as Sify Technologies have already signed up as landing partners to participate in this critical infrastructure build.
Meta’s decision to route this cable via India signals confidence in India’s regulatory environment and potential as a hub in Asia’s digital economy. As nations compete to control data highways, India is securing its place on that map.
