The applications of Elon Musk-led Starlink and Amazon-owned Project Kuiper for landing rights authorisation in the country are under the consideration of the Indian Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe).
“Starlink and Amazon Kuiper’s applications seeking IN-SPACe authorisation for provisioning of their constellation capacity (in India) are under process,” IN-SPACe chairman Pawan Goenka told Economic Times.
Landing rights refers to the authorisation given to companies to use their satellites in the country. Starlink and Project Kupier are seeking the authorisation as they intend to provide satellite communications services in India.
While the two companies are yet to get their licences for starting satellite broadband services in India, the grant of landing rights would not hinge on approval from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Goenka added.
The DoT is yet to grant the global mobile personal communication by satellite services (GMPCS) licence to SpaceX and Amazon, which is the first step towards launching satcom services in India.
Furthermore, the government is yet to allocate spectrum for satellite broadband.
