CyberWorks, controlled by Hong-Kong based businessman Richard Li, owns 49 percent of Data Access, which won an India-wide license to provide Internet services for about US$40 million in March this year.
"We are planning a national roll out, offering a whole host of services," Siddharth Ray, managing director at Data Access, said in an interview.
The Internet service provider plans to offer services in 140 cities in India. The company will use its own satellite-based gateway in New Delhi to connect to the Internet for its service.
CyberWorks follows companies such as Pacific Internet Ltd, and British Telecom Plc to India.
Internet users in the country are expected to surge 11 times to 30 million by 2004, according to a report by Credit Lyonnais Securities Asia.
