From cloud on-ramps to virtual edge services, Megaport’s expansion into India from March 2026 will support modern network design in the market.
India’s digital economy is growing at incredible speed. Cloud and AI adoption is accelerating, data volumes are scaling, and more businesses are designing architectures that extend well beyond a single data center or cloud region.
Following Megaport’s recent expansion into India through our acquisition of Extreme IX, we’re now rolling out Megaport’s full solution portfolio into the market. The first services are set to be available from March 2026. This brings on-demand, software-defined, high-bandwidth connectivity to businesses building networks in, into, and across India.
In this blog I’ll walk through what’s coming to the Indian market, how each of our products fits into your real-world network design, and why this matters for organizations operating locally or expanding globally.
Think of your network as a model house you want to build, and Megaport solutions as the different building blocks you combine to create exactly the house you want.
As Megaport rolls out in India, local organizations will be able to design networks to support a wide range of scenarios, including:
These use cases are built by combining different Megaport building blocks—connectivity, routing, security, compute, and internet services—so you can shape your ideal network and adapt it as requirements change.
Your entry point to the Megaport network
A Port is the physical or virtual interface that connects your infrastructure to the Megaport network. Ports allow organizations to establish a high-capacity, low-latency connection from their data center or colocation facility directly into the Megaport fabric.
This matters for the Indian market as it provides:
Private connectivity on demand
Virtual Cross Connects (VXCs) provide private Layer 2 connections between endpoints on the Megaport network. For Indian enterprises, VXCs enable direct connectivity to Cloud Service Providers, regional partners, or international locations without relying on the public internet.
Common use cases include:
Bandwidth can be adjusted on demand – perfect for short-term projects, migrations, or burst scenarios.
Simplifying Layer 3 at scale
Megaport Cloud Router (MCR) is a managed Layer 3 routing service that runs natively on the Megaport network.
Instead of deploying and managing your own routers, MCR allows you to build cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-on-premises, or region-to-region connectivity using dynamic routing.
For Indian and international businesses, this means:
MCR is particularly valuable for organizations connecting Indian cloud regions to global environments.
Bringing the network edge closer
Megaport Virtual Edge (MVE) allows you to deploy virtual network functions from leading vendors directly on the Megaport network. This includes SD-WAN, routing, and security services that can be positioned close to users, applications, or cloud environments.
In the Indian market, MVE supports:
This solution is perfectly suited for organizations modernizing their WAN or supporting distributed operations across India.
Dedicated, on-demand internet connectivity
Megaport Internet provides dedicated internet access delivered directly from the Megaport network in 60 seconds, with flexible bandwidth and rapid provisioning.
For organizations in India, this offers an alternative to traditional internet services that are often slow to deploy or difficult to scale. Bandwidth can be adjusted as requirements change, making it suitable for primary connectivity, backup paths, or temporary workloads.
Key benefits include:
Keeping traffic local
Megaport Internet Exchange (IX) enables direct peering between networks, allowing traffic to be exchanged closer to users and applications.
This will help Indian organizations reduce latency, lower transit costs, and improve overall application performance by avoiding unnecessary routing across regions.
This is particularly valuable for:
Security without the hardware
Megaport Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) allows customers to deploy virtual firewalls from leading vendors, directly on the Megaport network. This removes the need for physical appliances while enabling consistent security policies across cloud, edge, and on-premises environments.
Common use cases include:
Simplifying outbound connectivity
Megaport NAT Gateway provides a managed way to handle outbound internet traffic without deploying and maintaining NAT infrastructure.
For teams operating at scale, this reduces operational overhead while offering predictable performance and cost control.
Benefits include:
On-demand infrastructure where you need it
Powered by Latitude, Megaport Compute as a Service provides access to compute resources directly on the Megaport network, for instant compute wherever you need it.
This allows organizations to deploy workloads closer to data sources, users, or cloud environments without building or managing their own infrastructure.
In India, this supports:
Compute integrates natively with Megaport connectivity, simplifying how workloads are connected and managed.
Megaport gives network teams on-demand connectivity they can scale up or down as needed, paying only for what they use. With access to more than 1,000 global locations and a growing footprint in India, Megaport helps businesses stay flexible as their network requirements evolve.
To get started, simply log in or create an account in the Megaport Portal and start provisioning connections in as little as 60 seconds, or book a free demo with our friendly team first.
If you’re planning connectivity in India or looking to extend your network into or out of the region, now’s the time to start the conversation.
