The National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) has installed new internet exchanges in Durgapur and Bardhman districts of West Bengal. The move is part of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology’s (MeitY’s) ‘Vision 1000 Days’ initiative.
Meanwhile, the first internet exchange (IX) of the state at Kolkata is also run by NIXI. The launch of the new NIXI IEs in state is expected to contribute towards enhancement and improvement of internet and broadband services at local level and in neighbouring regions.
Further, in a bid to improve the overall Indian internet ecosystem and give internet users access to it at a low cost with improved speed, NIXI plans to install such internet exchanges in tier-2 and tier-3 cities in the near future.
