In 2002, NCST merged with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), a scientific research and development institution of the Ministry of Information Technology.C-DAC managed and operated the .in registry until December of 2004. The Secretary of the Department of Information Technology subsequently issued and order designating and appointing National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) as the .IN Registry for .IN ccTLD.<ref>[http://www.iana.org/reports/2009/in-report-27nov2009.html IANA Report]</ref>
