💨 Abstract

Starlink's journey in India began with regulatory hurdles, including a 2021 directive to stop pre-bookings due to lack of licensing. In 2024, consultations started on spectrum allocation for satellite services, with mixed industry reactions. Major telecom players like Jio and Bharti Airtel initially opposed but later partnered with Starlink by March 2025. Vodafone Idea is also exploring partnerships.
