Starlink Expands, Reveals Indian Pricing and Trial

Elon Musk's Starlink is expanding its satellite internet services globally, with recent licensing in India and applications to operate in Switzerland. In India, Starlink plans to offer high-speed, low-latency internet, with device kits priced around ₹30,000–33,000 and monthly plans expected to range from ₹800 to ₹4,200, depending on partnerships with telecom companies Reliance Jio and Airtel. The service targets improving connectivity in underserved and remote areas, with projected speeds up to 700 Mbps. Starlink's hardware pricing for India is similar to that in Bangladesh and Bhutan. New Indian users will be offered a complimentary one-month trial. The exact launch timeline for Switzerland and the finalization of Indian pricing and partnerships are still pending.
