# My IP Address in India > The public IP on an Indian connection, which ASN is Jio, Airtel, BSNL, ACT, or Vi, why the city is often Mumbai or Delhi, and what CGNAT changes. Your public IP address on this connection is `216.73.217.54` (IPv4). If you are on an Indian broadband or mobile line, the public address in the box above is the one websites see. It is not the 192.168 address in the phone’s Wi-Fi settings, and it is not a GPS point. The rest of this page is about how that address behaves on Jio, Airtel, BSNL, ACT, and Vi: which ASN to expect, why IPv4 is often shared, why IPv6 is common, and why the city name is so often Mumbai or Delhi. ## Which network you are on The ASN is the useful label. The brand on the bill and the brand in a geolocation database are not always the same string, because a retail product can sit on a parent network. The registrations this site already explains: - [Jio](https://ipinfo.fyi/isp/jio) mobile is [AS55836](https://ipinfo.fyi/asn/55836), RELIANCEJIO-IN. JioFiber is a different product and is not automatically this ASN. On 19 Oct 2026 RIPEstat listed 2,092 IPv4 prefixes and 421 IPv6 prefixes announced by AS55836, including 157.32.0.0/12 and 2409:4000::/22. - [Airtel](https://ipinfo.fyi/isp/airtel) mobile is [AS45609](https://ipinfo.fyi/asn/45609) (BHARTI-MOBILITY-AS-AP). Broadband is [AS24560](https://ipinfo.fyi/asn/24560) (AIRTELBROADBAND-AS-AP). [AS9498](https://ipinfo.fyi/asn/9498) is the broader BBIL-AP network. A test on the SIM answers a different question from a test on Xstream Fiber. - [BSNL](https://ipinfo.fyi/isp/bsnl) is [AS9829](https://ipinfo.fyi/asn/9829), BSNL-NIB. Bharat Fiber circles differ. The ASN says BSNL announces the address. It does not say the plan is static. - [ACT Fibernet](https://ipinfo.fyi/isp/act) is [AS18209](https://ipinfo.fyi/asn/18209) and [AS24309](https://ipinfo.fyi/asn/24309), both named CABLELITE-AS-AP in the registry data this site uses. - [Vi](https://ipinfo.fyi/isp/vi) mobile is [AS38266](https://ipinfo.fyi/asn/38266) and [AS55410](https://ipinfo.fyi/asn/55410), VIL-AS-AP. Those addresses are usually shared. All five of those networks are allocated through APNIC, the regional registry for India. APNIC records who received the block. It does not record which flat in which city is using an address this afternoon. Current announcements, which change, are on RIPEstat and Hurricane Electric from the ASN links above. ## CGNAT on Jio and Airtel India has far more phones and home connections than it has public IPv4 addresses. The usual engineering answer on mobile is carrier-grade NAT: many subscribers share one public IPv4, and the address on the device is private or drawn from 100.64.0.0/10. Jio mobile and Airtel mobile are commonly in that situation. Vi mobile is the same pattern. Browsing works. Hosting a game, a camera, or a remote desktop on IPv4 usually does not, because there is no public port that is yours alone. Fiber is not the same product. Some JioFiber, Airtel Xstream, BSNL Bharat Fiber, and ACT plans put a public IPv4 on the router, and some do not. The only check that answers for your line is to open the router’s WAN status and compare it with the address on this page, on that connection, not on mobile data. If they match, you already have a public IPv4. It may still change when the router reconnects. If the WAN side is 100.64 or another non-public range, you are behind NAT. The [CGNAT check](https://ipinfo.fyi/tools/cgnat) walks through that comparison. ## IPv6 is normal on Indian mobile Google’s public IPv6 statistics have for several years shown India near the top of large countries. That is mostly mobile, and Jio’s deployment is a large part of it. The percentage on that graph moves, so this page does not freeze a number that would be stale next month. What you can check yourself: if an IPv6 address appears on this site while you are on the line, you already have a path that is not shared the way IPv4 CGNAT is. Privacy extensions rotate the host half. The prefix is the part an ISP can keep stable. A laptop on the same Wi-Fi may still be IPv4-only if the router is not handing out IPv6 to the LAN, even when the WAN has it. ## Why the city says Mumbai or Delhi Geolocation databases have to name one place for an address that many people share. For a national mobile pool the place they pick is often where the gateway or the registered network is, not where the handset is. Mumbai and Delhi show up constantly for that reason, including for people in other states. A broadband address with its own public IPv4 is more likely to land in the right city, and it can still be a neighbourhood off. The pin is not evidence of fraud and it is not evidence the connection is “really” in that city. Compare sources on the [location checker](https://ipinfo.fyi/tools/location), and read [how to correct a wrong IP location](https://ipinfo.fyi/guides/wrong-location) if you operate the network or the address is a stable one you can vouch for. Do not file a correction that pins a shared Jio mobile address to your house. ## A static address, if you actually need one Public, dynamic, and static are three different words. Most people who ask an Indian ISP for a “static IP” need one of two things: inbound IPv4, or a platform whose written rule rejects shared addresses. A VPN does neither well. It replaces a shared ISP address with a shared datacenter address, which those platforms often treat more strictly. IPv6, Tailscale, or a tunnel can reach your own machines without a public IPv4. They do not satisfy a third party that wants to see a stable ISP address in a log. Prices and plan names change by city. This site does not quote one. [Asking an Indian ISP for a public address](https://ipinfo.fyi/guides/static-ip-india) lists what to check before the phone call and what to ask Jio, Airtel, BSNL, and ACT for, so the ticket names the plan rather than “the IP”. Canonical: https://ipinfo.fyi/my-ip-address-india ## Questions ### What is my IP address in India? The address in the box on this page is the public IP of this connection, wherever the connection is. If the lookup says India, that is the geolocation country for the address, which is usually right for a home or mobile line and often wrong for a VPN. ### Why does my Jio or Airtel IP show Mumbai or Delhi? Mobile addresses are shared. A geolocation database still has to drop one pin, and for a national pool that pin is often a gateway city such as Mumbai or Delhi rather than the city the phone is in. ### Does Jio use CGNAT? Jio mobile, AS55836, commonly shares a public IPv4. JioFiber depends on the plan. Compare the router WAN address with the public address on this site before you pay for a static add-on. ### Do Indian ISPs give IPv6? Jio in particular hands out IPv6 widely, which is a large part of why India’s IPv6 traffic share is high on Google’s public statistics. The figure moves, and a fiber line still has to be checked on its own router. ### How do I get a static IP in India? Ask the ISP that sells the plan, and get the price from them. This site does not quote a rupee figure. The questions to ask Jio, Airtel, BSNL, and ACT are on the static-IP guide.
