Networking to India can be a challenge for many carriers. Our experience has resulted in some top tier carriers requiring six weeks to provide quotations for connectivity in India. This is why we always suggest the best carriers, based on our experience, can respond in a week or so.

To help you put this all in perspective, here are the major Indian cities note:
Tier 1 Cities: Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Ernakulam, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune.
Tier 2 Cities: Bhopal, Coimbatore, Gurgaon, Lucknow, Jaipur, Jullundhar, Surat
While there are additional POPs all over India, the ones above are the key industrial and business centers of note.
