The way we use the internet in India is going to change to a great extent with the entry of Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service. It has got almost all the approvals from the government, with a couple

of them left. Now, the biggest questions amongst the audience related to the same are when Starlink will launch, how much it will cost, what speeds it will offer, and more. To answer all that, here we are with all the details that have been leaked until now.

Starlink Release Date In India And Cap On Connections

As of now, Starlink has almost all approvals except the SATCOM gateway and licenses secured for network equipment. Expectations are that these things will get sorted in a quarter, and then we will most probably get to see the service in action starting from January 2026. A date before that is something which could be a little imaginary, as these things and acquiring the required spectrum could take a decent amount of time. As for the connections, the Indian government has put a cap of two million connections in the country, so that the equilibrium of the market is not hampered.

Starlink Setup Cost And Packages

Coming to the pricing, the Starlink satellite service in India will most probably have a setup cost of around Rs 30,000 in the country, or maybe a little more than that. When it comes to plans, the pricing could star at Rs 3,300 monthly. However, rumours have it that the pricing will vary based on different regions.

Starlink Internet Speed

It is being said that the speed of Starlink satellite internet service will range between 25Mbps to 225Mbps in the country. Now, keep in mind that this service has been especially developed to make a stable network reach remote areas, hence the slow speed and high prices are justified as compared to a regular internet service provider in urban areas. It could be said that the same will have more impact in rural or remote areas as compared to bustling cities.
