Reliance welcomes Starlink, says Jio’s satellite services await clearances

Reliance Industries has said it welcomes competition in satellite communications, including Elon Musk-led Starlink, after the SpaceX chief accused “oligarchs” of blocking the company’s entry into India. In a statement, Reliance said Jio’s satellite services were also awaiting government clearances, adding that the same process applied to all applicants, Indian or foreign.

“We welcome competition in satellite communications, including Starlink. Every player, Jio included, must serve the people of India and abide by the laws and policies of the land,” the company said.
