Reliance Industries has welcomed competition from Elon Musk’s Starlink in India’s satellite communications market, insisting that every operator must comply with Indian laws and regulations. The statement follows Musk’s criticism of alleged obstacles delaying Starlink’s commercial launch in the country. Reliance clarified that the government applies the same approval process to domestic and foreign companies, adding that Jio’s own satellite services are also awaiting clearances. The company said competition benefits consumers and highlighted Jio’s growth to over 530 million customers. The dispute comes amid growing competition and regulatory scrutiny in India’s satellite internet sector. (PC: ITG)
