The National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) has announced its plans to construct 75 new internet exchanges in tier-2 and tier-3 towns and cities, which is a significant step towards improving internet access and connectivity in India.

The digital economies of the regions where the exchanges are established are anticipated to benefit from this expansion, encouraging growth and innovation.

NIXI seeks to empower neighbourhood companies, educational institutions, and individuals with seamless digital connectivity by bringing the internet closer to users in these regions.
Sharma also spoke about the administration of domain names with the ".in" and ".bharat" extensions which falls under the control of NIXI and stressed on the significance of the ".in" domain, which has already established itself as one of the top 100 ccTLDs globally. Given the size of India's population, NIXI has been given the mission of making ".in" the most popular ccTLD he mentioned.
Addressing NIXI's significant work since its formation year 2003, Alkesh Kumar Sharma stated that NIXI has played a key role in transforming India into a showcase of the country's strength in the internet ecosystem. From its original goal of creating Internet exchange points to preserve data within India, NIXI has subsequently developed to focus on creating the country's digital identity by promoting the use of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses as well as the.in domain. The Data Centres sector contributes to the ecosystem's completion by housing data in a structure that is safe, secure, unrestricted, and cyber robust. The National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) is ably supporting Digital India initiative . He also reaffirmed NIXI's commitment to fostering diversity throughout the national spectrum, advancing innovation, and utilising technology for a digitally inclusive society.

NIXI works to safeguard the interests of Indian users and use technology for their advantage in line with the government's vision of an open, secure, and accountable internet, he added.
