CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News New Delhi: The National Internet Exchange of India is marking its 23rd Foundation Day on 19 June 2026, highlighting more than two decades of work in strengthening India’s internet infrastructure and supporting the country’s digital transformation.
The organisation plays a key role in managing the .IN domain, facilitating internet exchange services and supporting IP address allocation through the Indian Registry for Internet Names and Numbers. These functions have become important as more businesses, institutions and citizens move deeper into digital services.
India’s domain and internet exchange ecosystem has expanded steadily. NIXI now manages over 3.9 million .IN domain names, operates 79 internet exchange points across the country and supports domain names in 22 Indian languages. IPv6 adoption has also reached about 78 per cent, strengthening readiness for future network demand.
The Foundation Day programme is expected to highlight new initiatives around service delivery, automation and domain-name security. An AI-powered WHOIS screening platform is also being introduced to improve trust in the .IN domain space.
The milestone underlines the growing importance of secure, resilient and inclusive internet infrastructure for India’s digital economy.
