Modi to meet Musk in US for potential Starlink discussions
ndtv.com —
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet Elon Musk during his U.S. trip this week. Discussions may focus on Starlink's delayed plans to launch satellite broadband services in India, amid ongoing regulatory issues. Starlink has faced challenges in India, including a clash with Mukesh Ambani's company over spectrum allocation. The Indian government supports Musk's view that spectrum should be assigned rather than auctioned, but Starlink's license is still under review. Musk has previously expressed concerns about India's high import taxes on electric vehicles. It is unclear if Tesla's entry into India will be discussed, but sourcing components locally may be a topic of interest.
