Jio also signs deal with Elon Musk's SpaceX after Airtel 

Reliance Jio has also teamed up with SpaceX to bring Starlink’s satellite internet to India. The deal depends on SpaceX getting the required approvals to sell Starlink in the country. If that happens, Jio will offer Starlink services through its stores and online platforms.

The announcement comes just a day after Airtel said it partnered with SpaceX to offer Starlink internet in India, signaling growing competition in the satellite broadband space. Both companies are also looking at other ways to work together to improve India’s digital infrastructure.

Mathew Oommen, Group CEO of Reliance Jio, said, “We are committed to ensuring high-speed broadband reaches every Indian, no matter where they are. Partnering with SpaceX to bring Starlink to India is a major step toward seamless connectivity for all.”

The partnership aims to expand broadband access across India, especially in remote areas. Jio, which handles more mobile data than any other operator, will use Starlink’s satellite network to strengthen its internet services. Jio will also set up a system for installation, activation, and customer support for Starlink users.

This move aligns with Jio’s push to make internet access widespread. Starlink will add to Jio’s existing broadband lineupJioFiber and JioAirFiberhelping cover tough-to-reach locations quickly and affordably.
