AI-generated briefing · First published
Elon Musk claims Mukesh Ambani blocks Starlink in India; New Delhi says three licensed operators face identical security reviews.
Elon Musk accused Mukesh Ambani of blocking Starlink to protect Reliance Jio’s market dominance, calling him India’s “real boss.” India’s Ministry of Communications rejected the claim, stating that Starlink, Jio Satellite and Eutelsat OneWeb are at the same regulatory stage and must complete identical security assessments before spectrum is assigned.

Starlink received its licence in June but still awaits final clearances. Jio and Airtel also hold licences and are seeking spectrum for their own satellite services. [1] [2] [4]
