Musk’s company unwilling to follow India rules, must set up local base stations: Official
New Delhi: Starlink’s reluctance to comply with Indian government rules mandating domestic infrastructure creation is hindering its ability to get licence for starting satellite communication services in the country, a senior official privy to the deliberations said Wednesday. The Elon Musk-owned company will need to first establish local ‘base stations’ or satellite ground stations before being allowed to offer its services in India, the official said.
“Laws are the same for everyone,” the official told ET. “Starlink is not willing to comply with Indian regulations,” the official said.
