The MIST submarine cable system of 8.100 km between Myanmar, Malaysia, India and Singapore will land on Santhome beach, en Chennai, and on Versova beach, en Mumbai, after the granting of a Coastal Control Zone permit (CRZ) by the Federal Government of India.
This will be the seventeenth system of fiber optic line underwater who lands in Bombay. Los 17 Transoceanic cable projects include six submarine cables that will connect to Mumbai between 2023 Y 2025, including MIST.
MIST is an international fiber optic submarine communications network that traverses the seabed to connect India with other Asian countries such as Myanmar., thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. It has a length of 8.100 kilometers and connects Mumbai with Singapore via Chennai.

The Expert Evaluation Committee (EAC) of the Ministry of the Environment, Forests and Climate Change has recommended that the government create an adequate corridor for the laying of the submarine power cable in the coastal zone for better management and avoid conflicts.
According to the plan, The system has a design capacity of 216 Tbps and its completion is scheduled for 2023. The system is being developed by OLL, a joint venture of JICT Japan and WEN Capital, and is being built by NEC Japan.
The total cost of the MIST project is approximately 400 millions of dollars. The MIST cable system will provide a secure telecommunication installation, reliable, robust and affordable for Asia. The main line runs from Tuas (Singapore) a Mumbai (India).
This is a project of enormous importance for global communications. It will facilitate telecommunication connectivity between India and other Asian countries, specifically Myanmar, thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
