Starlink row: Scindia says three satellite operators have licences, security clearances pending
NEW DELHI: A day after SpaceX CEO Elon Musk accused “oligarchs” of blocking Starlink’s entry into India, Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Friday said that three satellite communication service providers had received licences, but their security requirements still needed to be fulfilled before they could begin commercial operations.
Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the 10th edition of the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2026, Scindia said security clearances fell under the purview of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), which would take the final decision.
