Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite-based broadband project, has received state approval in India to begin compliance procedures in the country.
The Indian Department of Telecommunications granted approval for Starlink, and now the company needs to adhere to licensing requirements and security guidelines set by New Delhi.
Starlink's connectivity in India is expected to take six to nine months to roll out, targeting the market of over 1.4 billion people with limited internet access.
Starlink will face competition in India from other satellite internet providers like OneWeb, Airtel, Jio SpaceFiber, and Amazon's Kuiper.
