Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Friday (October 9, 2026) that India “does not allow a monopoly in any sector,” referring to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s allegations that “oligarchs” were blocking Starlink service’s availability in India. “For us in the Department of Telecommunications [DoT], we are technology agnostic,” Mr. Scindia said. “Our job is to be able to provide the bouquet of services to every single customer. It is for the customer to choose, in a free market, which service he or she prefers, and within that service bouquet, which company’s service he or she prefers.”
