Elon Musk’s SpaceX plans to partner with Indian companies to locally manufacture satellite communications equipment, including antenna systems and user terminal devices, as it gears up to launch its high-speed Starlink satellite broadband services in the country next year.

The Satcom Industry Association of India (SIA-India) has urged the Secretary of the Department of Telecommunications to ensure a robust regulatory framework for bandwidth in the 27.5 – 29.5 GHz range, it said in a statement on Friday.
“SIA-India has informed the Secretary–Department of Telecommunications that substantial levels of investment undertaken by the satellite sector and the capacity over India are placed at risk if there is regulatory uncertainty regarding the continued availability of the full 28 GHz band for use by broadband satellite networks,” the industry body said. SIA’s members are Ananth Technologies Ltd., Aniara, Jaat Veda International and Methera Global.
