Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Wednesday reiterated that Starlink, led by Elon Musk, must fulfil all security clearance requirements before starting services in the country.
Responding to a question about the Iran incident — where Starlink reportedly began operating without a licence — the minister clarified that the existing security framework applies uniformly to all operators.
“We have a performa of what the security rules are. Any operator who complies with those rules will be allowed to operate in India,” the minister said.
