NTT DATA, the Japan headquartered global technology company, will continue with its investments in India as it seeks to expand the data centre infrastructure and also generate higher revenues from the region.

NTT DATA, which made its entry into India in 2004, on Monday announced the commissioning of its Malaysia, India, Singapore Transit (MIST) submarine cable system by June 2025. MIST is an 8,100-kilometer cable that can carry over 200 terabits per second (Tbps). According to the company, it is one of the largest cables in Asia, and will connect Malaysia, India, Singapore and Thailand.

“India holds immense strategic importance for the NTT Group and we see a wealth of opportunities in this dynamic market. Today with over 40,000 employees, India is not only one our largest global hubs but also among our top 10 revenue generating markets,” said NTT CEO Akira Shimada at a press meet in Mumbai on Monday.
