Scindia Says India Won't Allow Monopoly in Any Sector
Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia stated on October 9, 2026, that India does not permit monopolies in any sector. Responding to Elon Musk's claims that oligarchs block Starlink's availability in India, Scindia emphasized the Department of Telecommunications is technology agnostic and supports a free market where customers choose their preferred services. He confirmed that Starlink, Jio, and OneWeb satellite internet license applicants are at the same stage in the approval process.
