Overview
- A brief website configuration error surfaced test figures of ₹8,600 per month and ₹34,000 for hardware on Starlink’s India page, which the company says were dummy data.
- Vice president Lauren Dreyer stated that Indian service pricing has not been announced, the site is not live, and Starlink is not taking customer orders in India.
- Starlink’s availability check for Indian addresses still shows pending regulatory approval, and no commercial launch date has been set.
- Industry reporting points to planned gateway earth stations in Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, and Noida, alongside recent hiring for finance roles in Bengaluru.
- Reports also cite retail and distribution tie-ups with Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel and a Maharashtra state LoI, as Starlink targets remote and underserved regions rather than dense urban markets.
