When will Starlik satellite Internet launch in India? Minister Scindia reveals key hurdle delaying rollout

Union Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia announced on Thursday that the launch of satellite broadband services in India hinges on two factors: companies finalising their rollout plans and the regulator TRAI suggesting spectrum prices. Speaking to reporters at the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2025, the Minister clarified the primary remaining hurdle. "It depends on the players in terms of how quickly they can roll out their execution strategy," Scindia stated. "There is one issue that TRAI has to still finalise—the spectrum pricing. That is the pending part, and that regulator will do".
