Asked Google Gemini AI - How many .in domains and .com domains are registered in India ?

 

As of January 2026, the number of .in and .com domain registrations in India reflects a growing digital economy where the local country-code extension is rapidly closing the gap with the global standard.

 

Registration Statistics for 2026.in Domains: There are over 4.2 million .in domain registrations as of early 2026.The National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) reported reaching the 4.1 million milestone in late 2025 and is currently targeting a goal of 5 million registrations.This growth has positioned .in as one of the top 10 country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) globally.

 

.com Domains: There are approximately 935,000 to 1 million .com domains specifically registered by Indian entities.

 

While .com remains a primary global choice, its market share among Indian registrants is roughly 27.5%, compared to the 64% share held by .in.

 

Despite being the "de facto" first choice for many legacy brands, .com growth in India has stabilized as users increasingly adopt localized extensions like .in for better regional SEO and trust.
