The Indian government has rejected a claim by Elon Musk that Starlink is being blocked. Musk had suggested that certain powerful players were preventing Starlink from operating in order to maintain their control over the market. The Ministry of Communications called this claim "baseless and misconceived", stating that all licensed satellite operators are at the same regulatory stage.

The issue arose after Musk replied to a post about Starlink offering high-speed broadband to underserved communities. He implied that Starlink was being blocked, but did not name any specific companies. The government has dismissed his suggestion, saying that the rules are being applied fairly to all operators.

Further details on the exchange between Musk and the Indian government are available from the source.
