Jio and Airtel Partner with SpaceX to Bring Starlink Internet to India

The agreements, pending government approvals, aim to revolutionize connectivity in rural and remote areas across the country.

Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel have signed separate agreements with Elon Musk's SpaceX to offer Starlink satellite internet services in India.
These partnerships are contingent on SpaceX receiving the necessary regulatory approvals from the Indian government to operate Starlink in the country.
The collaborations aim to deliver high-speed internet to underserved rural and remote regions, supporting India's growing digital infrastructure.
The agreements follow a shift in India's policy to administratively allocate satellite spectrum, which has intensified competition in the satellite broadband market.
If approvals are granted, the partnerships could provide Starlink access to India’s massive consumer base, the largest in the world with over 1.4 billion people.
