    Bharti Airtel Partners with SpaceX for Starlink Satellite Internet in India

    Kanika SharmaBy Kanika SharmaMarch 11, 2025Updated:March 13, 2025 World No Comments2 Mins Read

    Bharti Airtel announced on Tuesday that it has signed an agreement with Elon Musk’s SpaceX to bring Starlink satellite internet services to India. This highly anticipated launch marks a significant step toward expanding internet connectivity in the world’s most populous country as Airtel partners with SpaceX.

    Regulatory Approvals Still Pending

    Starlink has long sought entry into India but has faced regulatory hurdles. A key point of contention has been the allocation of spectrum for satellite services, with rival telecom giant Reliance Jio advocating for an auction-based model. However, the Indian government has supported Musk’s stance that spectrum should be assigned rather than auctioned. Despite this backing, Starlink’s license application remains under review, and the deal with Airtel is contingent on SpaceX obtaining the necessary approvals.

    Airtel partners with SpaceX to Expand Connectivity

    Under the partnership, SpaceX and Airtel will work together to provide Starlink equipment and services to business customers. Additionally, they will focus on improving internet access in schools, healthcare centers, and remote areas across India.

    Airtel also stated that both companies would explore ways for Starlink to enhance and expand Airtel’s network. SpaceX is expected to leverage Airtel’s ground network infrastructure and other resources to support its operations in the country.

    Strategic Timing of the Deal

    The announcement comes just weeks after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with Elon Musk in Washington. Their discussions covered various topics, including space exploration, mobility, technology, and innovation. The agreement aligns with India’s broader efforts to enhance digital connectivity and technological advancements.
