� Allen Musk’s Starlink Satellite Internet is preparing to enter the Indian market, and initial reports suggest that the price of this service can be less than ₹ 1,000 per month. The move is expected to create a stir in the Indian broadband region, especially in areas where there is no poor or any connectivity.

Currently available in more than 100 countries-including nearby countries like Bhutan and Bangladesh-Starlink aims to provide high-speed, low-distinction internet in both urban centers and remote areas. According to a report by The Economic Times, SpaceX wants to launch its satellite internet service in India with an unlimited data plan at an initial rate of less than $ 10 or about ₹ 840 per month. This aggressive pricing strategy is seen as an attempt to achieve early market share before major rivals such as joint ventures with Reliance Jio’s SES, Bharti Group -backed YouTelsat Oneway and Globalstar – all are in the competition to launch similar services in India.

To support its rollout, Starlink is collaborating with local telecom giants such as Jio and Airtel for alleged service distribution. At the beginning of this month, India’s Department of Telecommunications (DOT) released a letter of intent to Starlink, which is an important milestone in the regulatory approval process. However, the company is still waiting for the final approval and spectrum allocation from the IN-Space (Indian National Space Promotion and Authority Center) before starting full-scale operations in the country.

While users in the United States pay around $ 120 (about ₹ 10,200) per month for Starlink, Indian users can avail significantly low introductory prices. It is said that once the promotional rates are finished, the monthly fee based on the location and service plan can increase between ₹ 3,000 to ₹ 7,000.

In addition to subscription costs, users will also have to invest in Starlink Hardware Kit which includes satellite dishes and Wi-Fi routers. The price of this kit is between $ 250 and $ 380 (about ₹ 21,300 to ₹ 32,400) globally. Although this initial cost may stop some urban users – especially when traditional fiber broadband services in India provide low -cost installations with bundled OTT benefits – Starlink can be a very important success in reaching reliable internet, for low -service or people in rural areas.

Alan Musk’s satellite venture is setting itself as a lifeline for remote communities, promising to bridge digital division where terrestrial infrastructure still lacks.
