Musk pushes Starlink expansion in India, says competition benefits citizens

Elon Musk has renewed his push for Starlink's entry into India's broadband market, arguing that competition would benefit ordinary citizens. The Tesla and SpaceX chief's latest remarks come as he has publicly criticized Mukesh Ambani over delays in launching the satellite internet service in the country.

Musk has been vocal about regulatory hurdles and business obstacles that have slowed Starlink's rollout in India. His comments underscore the tension between the U.S. billionaire and India's richest industrialist over market access and the pace of satellite broadband deployment.

The dispute highlights broader questions about India's telecom landscape and the role of new satellite-based connectivity providers in expanding internet access to underserved regions.
