In a major blow to Elon Musk, the Indian government has blocked Starlink's approval to start service. This means that now Starlink will not be able to start its commercial operations in India. This step has been taken in view of the security concerns raised after the use of Starlink's satellite terminals in the Iran war. According to the Bloomberg report, the approval has been stopped after the advice of the central government's security agencies. Let's know the whole matter. Starlink had been planning to start its satellite internet service in India for a long time. Starlink had also received a provisional license for this and the company had also completed the trial. Discussions were going on between the government and the company about the final approval. Meanwhile, the use of Starlink's satellite terminals during the Iran war has raised the government's concern. The company does not have a license in Iran, but its satellite terminals are being used. The government is now worried that the Geopolitical Company of Iran may be difficult to control in this time of war.
