Kamorta is a landing point in India, situated in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands — the remote island chain extending into the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. As an island territory geographically separated from the Indian mainland, Kamorta's connection to the wider telecommunications network depends on submarine cable infrastructure. One submarine cable currently lands at Kamorta, linking the island to the Indian mainland.
The single cable serving Kamorta is the Chennai-Andaman & Nicobar Islands Cable (CANI), which runs entirely within Indian territory, connecting the island chain to the mainland city of Chennai. This makes Kamorta part of a domestic inter-island corridor rather than an international or intercontinental link. The CANI system represents a significant step in extending high-capacity submarine connectivity to one of India's more remote island territories.
The Chennai-Andaman & Nicobar Islands Cable (CANI) is a 2,300-kilometre submarine cable that reached ready-for-service (RFS) status in 2020, with draft certification. The cable connects multiple landing points within India, running between Chennai on the southeastern coast of the mainland and several locations across the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, of which Kamorta is one. Both endpoints of the cable fall within Indian territory, making CANI a wholly domestic system designed to improve connectivity among India's island territories in the Bay of Bengal.
Within India's submarine cable landscape, Kamorta sits at the lower end of the scale in terms of cable count. India hosts 21 submarine cables across 26 landing points, with major hubs such as Mumbai (18 cables) and Chennai (9 cables) far exceeding Kamorta's single-cable presence. Kamorta is broadly comparable to other single-cable Indian landing points such as Agatti, Amini, and Andrott — all of which, like Kamorta, serve island communities with limited but targeted submarine cable connectivity.
Kamorta functions as a single-cable terminus on the CANI system, serving the specific purpose of extending domestic submarine connectivity to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Rather than acting as a multi-cable hub or an international gateway, Kamorta's role is defined by the intra-national corridor it participates in — connecting a geographically isolated island to mainland India via Chennai. The CANI cable, at 2,300 kilometres, is considerably shorter than India's average submarine cable length of 8,059 kilometres, reflecting its domestic rather than transoceanic scope.
Within the broader Indian submarine cable graph, Kamorta represents one of several island-focused landing points that collectively extend national network reach beyond the mainland coastline. Its inclusion in the CANI system places it alongside other Andaman and Nicobar landing points served by the same cable, forming a domestic island connectivity tier that complements the international cables concentrated at larger mainland hubs.
