· Technology · NDTV, Hindustan Times, RT International
Elon Musk claimed Starlink had complied with all laws and regulations following the denial of a necessary licence for its satellite internet service in India. He initially alleged the service was being blocked by unnamed oligarchs, sparking a public row over the regulatory clearance.

Musk's comments come amid ongoing scrutiny of foreign satellite internet providers entering the Indian market.

The dispute highlights the tension between global tech innovators and India's regulatory framework for telecom services.
