Jio gets green signal to launch satcom services

Jio Platforms has received the approval of the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) – its final go-ahead – to launch satellite communication (satcom) services in the country.

The approval comes even as global majors such as Elon Musk-owned Starlink and Amazon Project Kuiper await regulatory clearances to launch their services in the country. Bharti Enterprises-backed Eutelsat OneWeb is the only other company to have already received all necessary clearances.
