SpaceX sets up subsidiary in India, plans to apply for licence

Elon Musk-owned SpaceX has incorporated its wholly-owned subsidiary in India to start local broadband operations. The company will be starting local broadband operations in India, a top official of the company revealed. The incorporation of its subsidiary will allow the company to start applying for licenses in India.

 

SpaceX's satellite broadband arm Starlink aims to start broadband services in India from December 2022, with 2 lakh active terminals subject to permission from the government.

 

The company is charging a deposit of USD 99 or Rs 7,350 per customer and claims to deliver data speeds in the range of 50 to 150 megabit per second in beta stage.

 

"Pleased to share that SpaceX now has a 100 per cent owned subsidiary in India. The name is SSCPL - Starlink Satellite Communications Private Limited and the incorporation date is Nov 1, 2021. Happy Birthday, SSCPL. We can now start applying for licenses, open bank accounts etc," Starlink country director India at SpaceX Sanjay Bhargava said in a social media post.

 

The services of the company will have a stiff competition with Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea in broadband and it will be a direct competitor to Bharti Group-backed OneWeb.
