Chetlat is a coral island within the Amindivi Subgroup of the Lakshadweep archipelago, situated approximately 432 kilometres west of Kochi in the Arabian Sea. As part of India's island territories, Chetlat's connectivity to the Indian mainland depends on submarine cable infrastructure. One submarine cable lands at Chetlat, linking the island to the Indian mainland through a dedicated intra-country connection.
The single cable serving Chetlat is the Kochi-Lakshadweep Islands (KLI-SOFC) system, a project designed to connect multiple islands of the Lakshadweep group with the Kerala coast. This cable establishes a domestic Indian corridor, spanning the open waters of the Arabian Sea between the archipelago and the mainland port city of Kochi.
The Kochi-Lakshadweep Islands (KLI-SOFC) cable is 1,989 kilometres in length and reached its ready-for-service (RFS) date in 2024, currently listed in draft status. The cable connects multiple landing points entirely within India, running between the mainland at Kochi and several islands of the Lakshadweep group. Both endpoints of this cable system fall within Indian territory, making it an intra-national submarine cable serving the island communities of Lakshadweep.
Within India's submarine cable landscape, Chetlat sits among the country's 26 landing points, which together host 21 submarine cables. Major Indian landing points such as Mumbai and Chennai host 18 and 9 cables respectively, while Kochi on the mainland hosts 2. Chetlat, alongside fellow Lakshadweep island landing points Agatti, Amini, and Andrott, each host a single cable, reflecting the targeted nature of the KLI-SOFC system in extending connectivity across the archipelago.
Chetlat functions as a single-cable terminus within a domestic Indian submarine cable corridor. Its role is defined entirely by the KLI-SOFC system, which connects the Lakshadweep islands to the mainland at Kochi via a route spanning the Arabian Sea. Rather than serving international or intercontinental traffic, the cable at Chetlat enables intra-country connectivity between a remote island community and the Indian mainland.
As one of several Lakshadweep islands served by the KLI-SOFC cable, Chetlat represents the distributed architecture required to bring submarine connectivity to geographically dispersed island territories. Its presence in the Indian submarine cable graph illustrates how domestic cable infrastructure addresses the specific challenges of connecting archipelagic and island communities to mainland networks.
