1995
Internet services in India were first used by academic and research networks such as ERNET from the late 1980s, but those were not open to ordinary citizens.
Public internet access in India began on 15 August 1995, when Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL), the government-owned international telecom provider, launched commercial internet service for the general public in major cities.
1986 relates to the start of ERNET for education and research institutions, while 1999 (the new telecom and ISP policy that allowed private service providers) and 2000 (the Information Technology Act) came after public access had already begun.
