.in domains: India's open ccTLD

.in is the ccTLD for India, operated by NIXI (National Internet Exchange of India) under the authority of the Department of Telecommunications. Unlike some ccTLDs, .in is open to worldwide registrations with no Indian nexus requirement — anyone can register a .in domain. This openness, combined with the TLD's association with India's fast-growing tech sector, has made .in increasingly popular with Indian startups and tech companies.

WHOIS lookups for .in domains use NIXI's RDAP server. Registrar, dates, status, nameservers and DNSSEC data are typically shown. Privacy redaction for .in is less uniform than for EU-based TLDs — contact data visibility varies by registrar. .in has over 2 million active registrations and growing adoption within India's technology ecosystem.
