New Delhi: India's Maharashtra state, home to financial hub Mumbai, will be the first to roll out Elon Musk's Starlink internet service in the world's most populous country, the chief minister said.
The launch of Starlink, which provides high-speed internet to remote locations using low-orbit satellites, has sparked fierce debate in India over issues ranging from predatory pricing to spectrum allocation.
India -- projected to have more than 900 million internet users by year's end -- granted Starlink a licence in June.
Maharashtra was "poised to become the first Indian state to formally collaborate with Starlink", the state's Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on the Musk-owned platform X late Wednesday.
"This collaboration... will ensure the state leads India in satellite-enabled digital infrastructure."
