Sell Your Unused IPv4 Addresses
Turn Dormant IP Space into Cash

IPv4 addresses are a scarce, appreciating asset. If your organisation has unused or under-utilised IP blocks, Ogma connects you with verified global buyers and manages the entire transfer process — from free valuation to INR settlement in your account.

Why Sell Now?

IPv4 prices have risen significantly since the registries ran out of free allocations. The market remains strong — and many organisations don't realise the value sitting dormant in their legacy IP allocations.

Whether you received a large allocation years ago that you no longer fully use, or you're winding down a product line — your unused IP blocks have real market value today.

Who Sells Their IPv4 Blocks?

Legacy Enterprises

Companies that received large IP allocations in the 1990s–2000s when IPs were freely available. Many have moved to private addressing and cloud, leaving large public blocks dormant.

ISPs Transitioning to IPv6

Telecom and ISP companies migrating to dual-stack IPv6 architectures often find they have more IPv4 space than they need and can monetise the surplus.

Product Wind-Downs

Businesses closing a product line, exiting a market, or being acquired often have IP blocks previously used for that product — now with no future use planned.

Cloud Migrations

Organisations that have moved infrastructure entirely to AWS, Azure, or GCP and no longer need on-premise public IP allocations.

Universities & Research Orgs

Educational institutions often hold Class A or Class B allocations from the early internet era that far exceed their actual usage — representing millions in realisable asset value.

Bankruptcy & Restructuring

IP addresses are now recognised as valuable assets in insolvency proceedings. Liquidators and restructuring advisors work with brokers like Ogma to realise this value for creditors.

Frequently Asked Questions

The tax treatment of IPv4 address sales in India is an evolving area. Generally, proceeds from selling IP address blocks may be treated as sale of intangible assets and subject to GST (as supply of goods/services). We strongly recommend consulting your CA or tax advisor. Ogma provides complete transaction documentation to support your tax filings.

Ogma charges a brokerage commission, typically 5–10% of the transaction value (varies by block size and complexity). This is transparently disclosed upfront before you engage us. The commission is typically deducted from the buyer's payment — you receive the net amount.

Yes. Many sellers plan the migration timeline — announcing the sale of the block, migrating any live services to alternative IPs (private addressing, a smaller retained block, or cloud IPs), and then completing the transfer once migration is done. Ogma helps you plan this transition.
