Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel have formed partnerships with Elon Musk's Starlink for distributing its satellite internet services in India. The deals mark a strategic shift for both telecom giants, previously opponents of satellite companies,

Hours after Airtel announced a deal with Spacex to bring the latter’s Starlink satellite internet to the Indian market, the US-based space company is now teaming up with Reliance-owned Jio to bring Starlink’s high-speed satellite broadband services to India.

Based on the statements issued by both telecom companies, the agreement is subject to SpaceX receiving authorisation to sell Starlink in India.
