Elon Musk’s Starlink is poised to offer satellite internet in India with 80-90 times more capacity than rivals Reliance Jio-SES and Eutelsat OneWeb. With infrastructure in place, including three gateways in Mumbai, Pune, and Indore, Starlink awaits regulatory approval to launch. Its planned second-generation satellite constellation could expand to 30,000 units. Meanwhile, Jio-SES and Eutelsat-OneWeb have secured permissions but await spectrum allocation. Starlink has committed to setting up a network monitoring center in India and complying with security norms. India's space sector is projected to reach $44 billion by 2033.
