Satcom firms to decide tariff, not Centre: Scindia
Hindustan Times Chandigarh
|December 18, 2025
Sejal Sharma
The government will not regulate the pricing of satellite internet services in India, with companies free to decide what they charge customers, Union communications minister Jyotiraditya Scindia told the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, even as he expressed confidence that India's low-cost telecom model could eventually push satcom players towards more affordable plans.
"In regards to pricing, it is not something that the government can dictate. Pricing is something that the firms can dictate," Scindia said, responding to questions on the affordability of satellite broadband, especially for rural and remote areas.
