Sify Reports Revenues of $ 39.19 Million for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2009-10

Grows Revenue 18% Over Same Quarter of Previous Year, Net Profit for the Quarter at $ 9.46 Million

CHENNAI, India, January 27 - Sify Technologies Limited (Nasdaq Global Markets: SIFY), a leader in
Enterprise and Consumer Internet Services in India with global delivery
capabilities, announced today its consolidated unaudited results under
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for the third quarter of
fiscal year 2009-10.

    Performance Highlights:

    - Revenues for the quarter were $ 39.19 million, 18 % higher than in
      the same quarter of the previous year.

    - Growth was driven by revenues from Enterprise services with data
      centre, managed voice, applications services and systems integration
      services all registering growth. International services revenues were
      the same as the previous quarter. Consumer services revenues were
      lower than previous quarters, pending the launch of a new business
      model for cafes, a new strategy developed for broadband services and
      a unified approach for value added services.

    - Net Profit for the quarter was $ 9.46 million as against a
      Net Loss of $ 5.54 million in the same quarter in the previous year,
      and a Net Loss of $ 2.53 million in the immediately preceding quarter.
      Net Profit for the quarter was due to a one-time realisation from
      legal matters under other income of $12.00 million during the Quarter.

    - Capex during the quarter was $ 6.21 million. Cash balance at the end
      of the quarter was $ 17.63 million.

Mr. Raju Vegesna, Board Chairman and CEO & MD, Sify
Technologies, said, "We are happy to report continued revenue growth from our
Enterprise services. In addition to the lines of services to corporates, we
are seeing traction from services to both the Central and State governments.
We are in the final stages of preparation of a unified strategy for our
consumer services, with test launches slated for the near future. This was
necessitated by the change in the environment in which we operate, and we
believe the new strategy will benefit us with growth in revenues going
forwards. While international service revenues were about the same as the
previous quarter, we have a healthy funnel and expect to grow revenues going
forwards".

Mr CVS Suri, Chief Operating Officer, Sify Technologies, said, "We
continue to see growth in Enterprise services revenues across hosting,
applications and managed voice services. In addition, we are gaining traction
in services to the government for data centres and applications development.
On the consumer front, we are finalizing our plan for a unified approach with
value added services delivered across platforms: cyber cafes, broadband as
well Sify.com users. We are also soon launching a new business model for
cyber cafes to expand reach and revenue opportunities. Similarly, new product
and service offerings for broadband Internet access should help us enhance
the subscriber base and increase revenues going forwards."

Mr. MP Vijay Kumar, Chief Financial Officer, Sify, said, "While our
focus is on growing revenues, we continue to work towards reducing operating
expenses through fiscal discipline and increasing operational efficiencies.
Our objective is to ensure prudent utilization of funds available for
expansion along with capital recovery and credit lines. We also continue our
efforts to minimize costs while capitalizing on a market that is once again
beginning to grow towards earlier levels by optimizing the delivery process
through online applications and tools."
