These investments are a key part of the company's commitment
to enhance its robust global infrastructure as part of its USD 2 Billion
expansion plan over three years. The Tata Communications Exchange and the
TGN-Intra Asia Cable System are integral parts of the Tata Global Network
(TGN) that includes one of the most advanced and largest submarine cable
networks, a Tier-1 IP platform and more than 1 million square feet of data
center and co-location facilities worldwide.

Tata Communications Exchange

To meet increasing outsourcing demands from global
multinational corporations into emerging markets, Tata Communications is
expanding its capacity with the construction of a flagship data center, the
Tata Communications Exchange in Singapore. It will be ready for operation in
early 2010. The new data center will provide increased capacity for both
domestic and international companies, allowing them to realize cost and
resource efficiencies in addition to achieving greater service availability
and performance. The Singapore IDC is a key gateway location into the APAC
region. Its integration into Tata Communications' high capacity Tier-1
network enables the company to meet current and future IT infrastructure
service demands of its customers.

"The Asian market continues to be promising, even in the
current economic environment. Businesses need to capitalize on the
opportunities this region provides, and investments in Asia are critical for
the growth of global business," said Vinod Kumar, President and Chief
Operating Officer for Tata Communications. "Our large-scale investment in the
Tata Communications Exchange, coupled with our submarine cable build-out,
ensures scalability and global reach while delivering our commitment to meet
customer requirements. We will continue to be an active leader in offering
superior services into emerging regions where we see high growth potential
and opportunities for customers."

The Tata Communications Exchange is being developed in
partnership with Mapletree Industrial Fund (a pan-Asian industrial fund
managed by Mapletree Industrial Fund Management Pte Ltd (MIFM)). MIFM is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd, a leading Asian
real estate and capital management company based in Singapore.

Building on Tata Communications' extensive global submarine
cable and Tier-1 Internet Protocol (IP) network, the new data center will
deliver co-location, managed hosting, managed storage and value-added
services. Tata Communications will provide its global customers the added
flexibility to remain competitive through centrally- managed solutions with
high quality of service.

TGN-Intra Asia Cable

Paving the way for continuous support of economic growth and
development within the APAC market, Tata Communications also announced the
completion of the main segment of its USD 250 million TGN-Intra Asia cable
system. The multi-terabit system spans 6,700 km that connects Singapore, Hong
Kong, Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines. It increases data and voice
reliability by providing new route diversity for traffic generated throughout
and into APAC.

As part of its focus on expanding communications services to
and from emerging markets, Tata Communications is partnering with Globe
Telecom and EVN Telecom to expand the TGN-Intra Asia Cable System into the
Philippines and Vietnam respectively.
