Starlink's broadband poses minimal risk to Indian telcos: Report
The Business Guardian
|March 17, 2025
Starlink's satellite broadband services are unlikely to pose a major threat to Indian telecom giants Jio and Bharti Airtel, as their home broadband plans offer better pricing, higher speeds, and unlimited data, according to JM Financial report.
Instead, Starlink's service is expected to complement telcos' existing networks, helping to expand high-speed internet access to remote and rural areas.
Globally, satellite internet plans from Starlink and other satcom companies range between USD 10-USD 500 per month, with additional one-time hardware costs of USD 250-USD 380.
In contrast, Indian telecom companies offer home broadband plans starting at just USD 5-USD 7 per month, with premium plans providing 1 Gbps speed and access to streaming services for around USD 47 per month.
Additionally, Starlink's plans come with data caps, whereas Jio and Bharti provide unlimited data.
Given India's price-sensitive market, Starlink's higher costs and speed limitations make it less competitive for urban users.
