Ready, Set Beam. Starlink Nears India Launch, Bandwidth, Price Details

  • Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite internet service, is set to launch operations in India within 12 months, starting in selected urban areas.
  • The launch follows a government Letter of Intent and partial regulatory approvals, with final clearance from IN-SPACe and spectrum allocation still pending.
  • Initially, Starlink will offer 600 to 700 Gbps bandwidth to support 30,000–50,000 users, planning to expand capacity to 3 Tbps by 2027 after approvals.
  • Starlink's hardware kits will cost between ₹21,300 and ₹32,400, while monthly plans might start under ₹1,000, aligning with global pricing but exceeding typical Indian broadband costs.
  • Despite high licensing and hardware costs, Starlink could improve connectivity in underserved areas but faces competition from approved firms like Eutelsat OneWeb and Jio-SES.
