Elon Musk’s Starlink has received a Global Mobile Personal Communication by Satellite (GMPCS) license from India’s Department of Telecommunications, allowing it to provide satellite-based internet services in the country. This makes Starlink the third satellite internet provider in India, alongside Reliance Jio and Eutelsat-OneWeb. The move follows Musk’s February 2025 meeting with PM Modi and Starlink’s partnerships with telecom giants Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel. Aimed at expanding connectivity in rural areas, Starlink still requires approvals from India's space regulator and spectrum licenses. India's satellite internet market is projected to hit $1.9 billion by 2030. (PC: ANI)
