Starlink India Launch Stalls as Government Rejects Musk’s Claim

India has rejected Elon Musk’s suggestion that billionaire Mukesh Ambani is using political influence to block Starlink’s entry into the country, pushing back against allegations that have turned a prolonged regulatory delay into a public dispute over competition and corporate power. Telecommunications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Friday that India does not permit monopolies in any sector, responding to Musk’s criticism of the government’s handling of Starlink’s launch.
