TechnologyStarlink Faces Spectrum Challenges in India Amid Reliance Jio, Airtel Rivalry
Elon Musk's Starlink has faced nearly four years of delays in obtaining spectrum approvals in India, where Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel dominate the telecom market. While all three have received initial approvals, final spectrum allocations are pending. Starlink signed separate equipment distribution deals with Jio and Airtel in 2025. Despite India's growing internet base, rural connectivity remains a challenge, with over 11,000 villages lacking 4G as of May 2026.
