- Riot is testing Valorant Indian servers, likely to release with Act 3.
- Some players are been getting a very low ping.
- Here is how to test the ping from your location.
Riot had been hinting about the Indian servers for Valorant, and data miners had also found out some hidden strings in the code which pointed towards it. We had also speculated that the servers would be live by the end of 2020, as they had promised under 35 ping worldwide.
Recently some players have been getting very low ping in Valorant, like 6 to 25. Initially, we believed that they had finally made the Mumbai servers live, but a Rioter took to Reddit to clarify that they are just testing as of now. He said, "Just as a heads up, these are not fully live just yet. We're doing some small scale tests over the next couple weeks, so you may see it pop in and out of availability." They want to make sure that the connections and routing with the main ISPs are error-free.

Release date of Valorant Indian servers might be 13 October (Act 3)
It is worth noting that the current Act 2 of Valorant ends on 13 October. Since Riot have started testing the servers, it may be that they want to deploy the Indian servers in Mumbai along with the release of Act 3. This is just a speculation though.
