SpaceX’s Starlink Set for Early 2026 Launch in India After Regulatory Clearance
Starlink: Elon Musk's company Starlink has begun security trials ahead of the launch of its satellite internet service in India. This move is considered one of the final steps before the company's commercial launch in India.
Starlink, a subsidiary of Elon Musk's SpaceX, has commenced security testing prior to the launch of its satellite broadband service in India. As reported by the media, the process falls under the security clearance of both foreign and local telecom operators in India.
But Starlink is waiting for the final pricing guidelines from Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). If TRAI comes out with guidelines on the pricing of satellite services in this year-end, the company may start offering internet services to Indian consumers by early 2026.
India's satellite communications sector is growing rapidly after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government opened the space sector to private companies. The government wants the satellite network to deliver internet to areas where fiber or mobile network access is limited.
