DoT tightens satcom rules after Pahalgam attack

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has tightened the security conditions that must be met under the Global Mobile Personal Communication by Satellite (GMPCS) services licence, required to offer satellite-based broadband services in India. These include securing separate security clearances for each satellite gateway in India, localisation of all lawful interception facilities, and special provisions mandating services to specific individuals, groups, or geographical areas during hostilities.

The latest move may further delay the plans of Elon Musk-owned Starlink and Amazon's subsidiary Project Kuiper to enter India. Starlink's application for a GMPCS licence has remained under review since November 2022.
