Starlink wins India licence, waits for spectrum assignment
Starlink has received a license to operate in India, enabling it to provide high-speed connectivity. The company is now awaiting spectrum allocation to begin its services in the country, particularly targeting remote areas.
Key Takeaways
- Starlink received a licence to operate in India on May 29, 2026.
- The company is still awaiting spectrum allocation before it can begin service.
- Starlink’s India push is aimed at high-speed connectivity in remote areas.
- The timing coincides with India marking three decades since its first cellular call.

The move matters because it brings Starlink one step closer to serving remote areas in one of the world’s largest markets. The key signal to watch next is the spectrum allocation decision, which will determine when India service can actually start.
