Elon Musk’s Starlink partners with Meghalaya, edges closer to launching satellite internet in India
The Meghalaya government has entered into a Letter of Intent (LoI) with Starlink India to test satellite internet services in the state’s remote and challenging regions. The pilot project will target critical areas including education, healthcare, disaster response, and economic growth.
Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma said the partnership builds on the state’s broader push towards digital governance and infrastructure improvements.
“Over the past 8 years, we have strengthened infrastructure, embraced technology, and improved governance, reducing processes that once took 30 days to just 3 days. Yet, connecting our remotest schools, health centres, and communities remains a challenge,” Sangma said.
