Basic Fiber-Optic Extension
Extending broadband or fiber-optic lines to industrial plots involves trenching, cable laying, and installation of junction boxes or routers.
- Average cost ranges from ₹500 to ₹1,200 per running meter
- For a 100-meter extension, estimated cost is ₹50,000 to ₹1.2 lakh
- Includes fiber cabling, conduit, splicing, and basic installation equipment
Service Provider and Speed Requirements
Costs vary depending on the internet service provider (ISP), data speed, and whether it is a shared or dedicated leased line.
- Shared business plans: setup fees between ₹10,000 to ₹25,000
- Dedicated leased lines (1:1 ratio) may cost ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh in setup charges
- Monthly plans range from ₹5,000 to ₹50,000+ based on bandwidth
Site-Specific Considerations
Location, terrain, and distance from the main network node influence total installation cost.
- Remote or undeveloped areas may require higher trenching or relay equipment cost
- Permissions and road-crossing approvals may add delays and charges
- Higher-end projects may include redundant fiber paths for uptime assurance
