Elon Musk's Starlink awaits security clearance, spectrum allocation, and investment approvals to launch satellite internet in India, despite holding a license since June 2025. Reports note Starlink partnered with Jio and Airtel, while the government states all three licensed satellite communication providers—Jio, OneWeb, and Starlink—have undergone transparent application processes. Remaining steps include finalizing spectrum pricing and security requirements before services can expand, with officials emphasizing consumer choice based on price and quality.
