After Airtel, Jio inks pact with SpaceX for Starlink internet in India

Mukesh Ambani-led Jio Platforms Limited said on Wednesday it signed a deal with SpaceX to bring Starlink’s internet services to India, a day after rival Bharti Airtel inked a similar pact.

“This agreement, which is subject to SpaceX receiving its own authorisations to sell Starlink in India, enables Jio and SpaceX to explore how Starlink can extend Jio’s offerings and how Jio can complement SpaceX’s direct offerings to consumers and businesses,” the company said in a statement.
