New Delhi . Starlink, the company of world famous billionaire and industrialist Elon Musk, has denied the reports which claimed that the Indian government has stopped the process of approving its satellite internet services. The company said it is in “active and positive dialogue” with the Indian government and is receiving an encouraging response to its plans. Responding to the report, Lauren Dreier, Vice President, Starlink Business Operations, said the company is fully committed to launching its services in India and has complied with all regulatory and security requirements. The clarification came after reports claimed that India had effectively blocked approvals for the company’s business operations due to concerns over the use of Starlink terminals in the Iran conflict.
Dreier said in a post on social media platform X that Starlink is in active and positive discussions with the Indian government and that reports published based on anonymous sources are misleading.
He said the company has worked with the government with full transparency and accountability in all necessary regulatory and compliance processes.
According to Dreyer, Starlink has designed a specific deployment model for India that is consistent with the country’s technological sovereignty, regulatory requirements and security standards.
He said the company continues to receive positive feedback on Starlink’s technical capabilities and its potential to expand internet access in remote and low-connectivity areas.
Dreyer said that Starlink is fully committed to India and is working with the government to launch its services as soon as possible.
Starlink has applied for a license to provide satellite communication services in India and has also received a Letter of Intent (LOI) from the government. However, the company is still waiting for the final regulatory approval, after which it will be able to start commercial services.
This development comes at a time when SpaceX is reportedly preparing for the largest IPO in history. According to reports, the company’s proposed Nasdaq listing could take its valuation to around $1.75 trillion.
