The Department of Telecommunications (DOT) has sought details of whether an upcoming mega constellation of satellites in China is linked to the firm, officials said.
Starlink is the satellite internet constellation operated by SpaceX, the American satellite communications company owned by tech billionaire Elon Musk. The company had applied for the licence for global mobile personal communication by satellite (GMPCS) services in November 2022, and opened pre-booking channels in India in 2021.
Since then, the DoT has granted the GMPCS licence to Bharti Group-backed OneWeb and Reliance Jio's satellite arm Jio Space Ltd.
The latest obstacle for the company came after the DoT asked whether the upcoming "G60 Starlink" low-earth orbit communications mega constellation, being built by Shanghai Gesi Aerospace Technology (Genesat), was linked to Starlink. A full production line for the massive satellites was unveiled in Shanghai last year.
