Reliance Jio: Jio has made all necessary submissions to IN-SPACe, the space industry regulator, and the required authorisations are expected soon, one of the people cited earlier told ET. The authorisations are mandatory for deploying global satellite bandwidth capacity in India.
Reliance Jio could receive the landing rights and market access authorisations this month from the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe), approvals which are essential for the Mukesh Ambani-led telecom operator to launch its satellite-based gigabit fibre services in India, people aware of the matter said.

Bharti Group chairman Sunil Mittal had recently said OneWeb was ready to launch nationally by end-November if it received the spectrum. Jio’s president Mathew Oommen too had said the company, in partnership with its Luxembourg-based JV partner SES, could roll out its satellite-based JioSpaceFiber broadband services within weeks of being allotted the airwaves.
