Elon Musk’s Starlink secures ‘crucial’ approval to start its India operations

Elon Musk’s Starlink has reportedly cleared a significant regulatory barrier for its entry into the Indian market. According to a report by The Economic Times, the company has obtained a Letter of Intent (LoI) for a license from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to provide satellite internet in the country. The report said that this progress comes after Starlink agreed to a revised set of conditions.

Citing an official familiar with the matter, ET reported that the LoI for grant of Global Mobile Personal Communication by Satellite (GMPCS) permit comes after Musk’s company complied with the security conditions issued on Monday (May 5).
