Modi and Musk meet to discuss Starlink's potential launch in India

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet Elon Musk in the U.S. to discuss Starlink's potential launch in India. Starlink's entry has faced delays due to regulatory issues, spectrum allocation debates, and security concerns. Its license is still under review. Starlink aims to provide satellite broadband in India, but its rollout has been stalled by opposition from domestic telecom companies and national security worries. Musk has expressed willingness to comply with India's data localization requirements to address these concerns. The Indian government supports direct spectrum allocation for satellite services, but regulatory approvals are still pending. If approved, Starlink could enhance internet access in rural areas and increase competition in the broadband market.
