ChatGPT :Here’s a detailed look at .in domain registration statistics since 2005:.in Domain Registration: Historical DataBased on the authoritative Wikipedia entry on the .in domain:1992–2004: Only 7,000 total registrations across that period—reflecting restrictive policies and limited availability. Wikipedia2010: Registrations surged to over 610,000 domains, with about 60% registered within India and the rest from overseas. WikipediaBy October 2011: The number of registrations had climbed to over 1 million. WikipediaAs of 2016: Registrations more than doubled, exceeding 2 million

.---------------------------------------------------

Currently .IN registrations sit at 4.1 million (according to Verisign Industry Brief)The first 10 years from 2005 - 2015 , .IN growth was exceptional reaching over 2 million domains . However the last 10 years , the growth trajectory has slowed.

 

Has .IN reached saturation , absolutely not, if you look at Domain Names per capita in India or Domain Namer per Business (over 60 million businesses) , the per capita are extremely small compared to other mature markets and ChinaThere could be multiple reasons for this , however as long as India GDP and Economy grows , more businesses are created and increased awareness of domain names , there will continued growth of .IN .
