Starlink Awaits Security Clearance for India Launch

Elon Musk's Starlink must meet India's security norms to obtain a satellite broadband license.

Union Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia stated that Starlink is in the process of complying with India's security requirements.
Starlink's entry into the Indian market is contingent on storing data locally and securing satellite signals.
The Indian government has opted for administrative allocation of satellite spectrum, aligning with Starlink's preferences.
Rival telecom firms, including Reliance Jio, express concerns over non-auctioned spectrum allocations for satellite services.
Starlink aims to provide low-cost satellite internet in India, potentially challenging existing telecom giants.
