Hi Railway Team,
I’d like to suggest adding an India-based deployment region to Railway.
Currently, the closest available region for Indian users is Singapore. While it works, there is still noticeable latency compared to what a local Indian region could provide. Railway has a growing user base in India, including developers building production-grade applications where lower latency and faster response times are critical.
Use Case:
Many of us are building apps for Indian users (e.g., SaaS platforms, real-time apps, dashboards). Hosting closer to India would significantly improve performance and user experience.
Current Limitation:
- Higher latency due to region distance (Singapore)
- Slight delays in API response times
- Not ideal for real-time or high-performance applications
Requested Feature:
- Add at least one Indian region (e.g., Mumbai / Bangalore)
- Option to select India region during deployment
This would greatly benefit a large and rapidly growing developer community in India and make Railway even more competitive as a global platform.
Thanks for the amazing product and continuous improvements

+1 to this, India region is really needed now.
Railway currently only has regions in the US, EU, and Singapore (APAC), which is the closest for us.
But for India-based users, even Singapore introduces noticeable latency. There are real cases where first requests take 6–7 seconds from India, which directly impacts UX.
A Mumbai region would significantly improve performance for a huge and growing user base.
Would love to see this on the roadmap. 🙂

+1 Absolutely correct! after DPDP tracking regulations introduced in India, now the Indian server locations are needed. we have our app deployed on railway right now on US EAST but we have to move on Indian servers within few days due to DPDP enforcement.
