Elon Musk is taking on Mukesh Ambani in India's internet market, with his Starlink satellite service aiming to offer affordable internet and challenge Reliance Jio's dominance.
Musk is seeking to enter India's vast telecom market, where Jio has attracted millions of customers with low-cost data packages. However, Starlink has yet to announce its final pricing for Indian customers.
The SpaceX-owned satellite internet provider has secured a licence to operate in India but is awaiting final security clearance and spectrum allocation before launching commercial services.
The potential entry of Starlink could intensify competition among internet service providers and expand broadband access in remote areas. India's government has said satellite operators must meet the country's regulatory and security requirements.
