Elon Musk has pledged to price Starlink affordably in India to compete with Reliance Jio, escalating a public dispute with Mukesh Ambani. This move coincides with Jio Platforms preparing for a $106 billion IPO. While Musk claims regulatory delays favor Ambani, Indian officials insist all satellite operators are at the same approval stage.
Elon Musk publicly accused Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani of blocking Starlink’s launch in India, claiming the Reliance Industries chairman is the 'real boss' of the country. While Starlink has spent five years complying with Indian laws, it still lacks final security clearances and spectrum allocation. India’s Ministry of Communications rejected the allegations, stating that Starlink, Jio, and Eutelsat OneWeb are all at the same stage of the approval process. The dispute highlights tensions between global tech giants and Indian regulatory frameworks, even as Starlink maintains a distribution partnership with Jio.
