India Reportedly Freezes Starlink Clearance Over Security Concerns

General News

Summary

India’s security agencies have reportedly frozen Starlink’s final clearances over concerns about how a foreign satellite operator would comply during geopolitical tensions. The report says the hold affects Starlink even though it already cleared major licensing steps with DoT and IN-SPACe. The scrutiny is also slowing broader satcom policy work, including spectrum pricing, and it may affect other satellite ventures in India. Starlink disputes the report and says it remains in active discussions with the Indian government and expects to launch soon.
