Starlink, owned by SpaceX, is reportedly seeking security clearance for a license to offer satellite broadband services in India.
To obtain the permit, Starlink needs to meet all security requirements and convince the Indian government that it processes and stores data locally and maintains secure satellite signals.
The company has assured the Indian government of its willingness to comply with all security requirements.
If granted security clearance, Starlink would be a step closer to Elon Musk's plans to offer broadband services in India, currently dominated by Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel.
