such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have acted as your counsel in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, of up to 1,900,000 equity shares, par value Rs.10 per share (the &#147;Shares&#148;), of
Sify Limited, a company with limited liability incorporated in the Republic of India (the
&#147;Company&#148;). Each of the Shares being so registered is represented by one American Depositary
Share. I have examined the registration statement on Form S-8 (the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;) filed
by you with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of registering the
shares in connection with the Associate Stock Option Plan 2005.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Strictly limited to Indian law, it is my opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and
when issued in connection with the Associate Stock Option Plan 2005 will be validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
