Elon Musk’s Starlink is finally making its way to India, and it’s bringing satellite internet to places where traditional broadband can’t reach. If everything stays on track, Starlink will go live across the country within the next couple of months—license in hand and launch plan locked in.
Here’s the Deal: ₹33,000 for the Kit, ₹3,000 per Month
To get started with Starlink in India, users will need to buy the satellite kit (basically, the dish that connects you to the internet beamed from space). That’ll cost you around ₹33,000. After that, you’re looking at ₹3,000 per month for unlimited data.
Not ready to commit? Good news—Starlink will offer a one-month free trial when you buy the dish. You can test the waters before diving in, no strings attached.
Why It Matters
Starlink isn’t just another internet provider. This is about bringing high-speed internet to remote and rural parts of India where mobile signals and fibre networks just don’t cut it. With its low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite system, Starlink can deliver speeds between 25 Mbps and 220 Mbps, with many users seeing consistent speeds above 100 Mbps. That’s more than enough for streaming, video calls, online classes, or remote work.
Designed for the Tough Spots
Think of villages tucked in the hills, desert regions, or places hit hard by monsoons—Starlink’s meant for all of them. It works without relying on cables or towers, so it can reach corners of India that have been offline for way too long.

Keeping Prices Steady Across South Asia
Interestingly, the ₹33,000 dish price isn’t just for India. Starlink’s keeping things consistent across the region. Bangladesh and Bhutan have the same pricing setup for the hardware, which hints at a coordinated South Asian strategy.
Big Names Backing the Rollout
To make things smoother, Starlink has reportedly partnered with Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel. These alliances will help it tap into existing telecom infrastructure and navigate India’s regulatory maze a little faster.

What to Expect Next
With the license approved and pricing confirmed, the next step is launch—and that’s expected within the next 60 days. Once it rolls out, expect a big shift in how people in rural India get online.
So if you’ve ever dreamed of fast internet in the middle of nowhere, you might not have to wait much longer.
