Starlink
has been making headlines in India because of its aggressive approach to roll out its services in India as soon as possible. Now, with almost all the things going on at this point in time, the official release for Starlink in India could be announced anytime soon. On that note, let's have a look at the details of the same, like expected price in India, release date, internet speed, and a lot more to mention here.
Starlink Internet Speed, Availability, Connections Limit, And More
As asked by the Indian government, Starlink will have an upper limit to the number of connections that it can have in the country. According to the same, the Starlink satellite internet service can have a maximum of 20,00,000 connections in India. This step is being taken to strike a balance for the local players in the Indian market. Coming to the speed range, leaks related to the same suggest that Starlink internet will be available in India at a speed range of 25Mbps to 225Mbps. The service will be actively targeting the underserved regions of the country where the speed is secondary and permanent connectivity is primary. The speed mentioned here is not bad, but yes, the pricing will throw it off the market if Starlink will try to compete with internet service providers in urban regions.
Starlink Price In India And Release Date
Starlink will be most probably be launched in the Indian market at a one time set up cost of Rs 30,000 to Rs 35,000. On the other hand, the monthly pricing of the plans could range between Rs 3,500 to Rs 8,000. Starlink has been pushing its establishment in India, and the steps like partnership with state governments, opening new offices, and hiring local talent put a stamp on the same. If everything goes smoothly, then we may get to see Starlink's services operational in India by the end of the first quarter in the country.
