India Proposes Coordination Rules for Global and Local Satellite Communications Players
India plans to require global non-geostationary satellite communication (NGSO) providers like Starlink and Eutelsat OneWeb to coordinate with Indian satellite constellations, such as Jio's proposed system, to secure spectrum and offer services domestically. This coordination aims to prevent global players from blocking Indian entrants and to support national security and local industry growth. While approvals have been granted to some global and Indian players, security clearances and spectrum allocations are still pending. The Department of Telecommunications will include these provisions in upcoming draft rules.
