Reliance Industries expressed its openness to competition within India's satellite communications market. The company welcomed Starlink’s entry while emphasizing the need for compliance with Indian regulations. Reliance stated that its satellite services are awaiting necessary government approvals for operations. Elon Musk claimed that oligarchs are blocking Starlink's entry into India, which Reliance addressed in its statement. Other satellite operators also continue to seek Indian government clearances to start their services.
