Mumbai-IX, powered by DE-CIX, expands its footprint in Mumbai to Netmagic DC5 in the Chandivali neighborhood. Mumbai-IX, the leading Internet Exchange (IX) in the Indian market, will make services available at the facility, starting in February 2018. This is the second point-of-presence of Mumbai-IX in the metro market. The carrier and data center-neutral IX serves around 90 providers and is the only IX in India which carries OIX-1 certification from the Open-IX association; Open-IX is a US based non-profit association that has developed strong standards for Internet Exchanges.

Mumbai-IX connects all kinds of Internet providers including Broadband Providers, Content Delivery Networks, and Cloud Companies. This direct interconnection creates a better Internet experience for the end user, while providers get control over their connectivity and more cost efficient production of Internet connectivity. Mumbai-IX is already a vital part of the Indian Internet infrastructure. An expansion to additional markets will be announced shortly.

“Mumbai-IX is proud to establish a presence in Netmagic's flagship data center. This will be one of our key deployments in this market and allows both our big global customers and regional networks to establish settlement-free interconnection with each other. The NTT group is a trusted partner for DE-CIX and we are happy that, in addition to the partnership we have with the NTT data center “eShelter” in Frankfurt (Germany), we now are able to expand this to Mumbai”, says Ivo Ivanov, Board Member of Mumbai-IX operating company DE-CIX Interwire India.

This is how, Internet prices go down and speeds increase, Not with NIXI model.

True. The rate of 1 INR/GB even though it is almost similar to the IUC (interconnect charges between mobile operators) between the ISPs, should change.

However, the real game changer is Jio. Hathway is giving cheap - dirt cheap connections where Jio is available - 25M, UL, NO FUP for 5K yearly (6 months + 6 months free)
 
The thing i was trying to point out is NIXI was supposed to help Small ISP provide Higher bandwidth and data on Par with Biggies.

But their Mission couldn't be completed and they were selling data as high as 25 or 30 rupees.

Still, I believe Rs.1/GB is also too much as it supposed be less than 10 paise in Bulk when charged Flat fee per port.

Extreme peering guys are doing a good job bringing down the cost of broadband over all in India, Not just Mumbai or Hyderabad or Delhi.
Also Amsterdam-IX one of the biggest IX in the world has launched last year india with Sify.https://ams-ix.in/

Even Small ISP's like Ani networks have peering setup, Commendable.https://www.aninetwork.in/aniix/index.html
