From India news: "Union Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Tuesday said Elon Musk-owned Starlink is yet to comply with security norms, and a licence for satellite communications services will be issued only after they meet all the requirements for services in India.
The satellite communication services major is in the process of completing all the requirements and will get a licence once they complete the process, the minister added.
"We are more than happy to give them (licence) if they (Starlink) comply with all the conditions. You have to look at it from a security perspective, making sure that all security concerns are addressed. When they do that we will be more than happy to give it. Obviously, they are in the process of doing it," Scindia told reporters."

"Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, had planned a visit to India earlier this year to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, government officials, and spacetech executives. During this trip, Musk was expected to announce Tesla's intention to establish an EV manufacturing facility in India. However, he abruptly postponed the visit.
In an interview with ET, Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal has said, “We have come out with a policy. We are open to any company investing under that policy or even otherwise. That policy is only an enabler. If somebody wishes to import, we have given the possibility that you can import and market in India prior to even setting up the factory, if you are committing to set up the factory.”" (wasnt this what Musk proposed to India b4? But allegedly rejected?)
"“There are many who are ready to set up the factory, wait that time, instead of importing and then sell India-made cars. For example, VinFast is coming in. They could have imported under the policy but decided to start production. We welcome that better,” he said when asked about the status of a possible Tesla investment in India.
Regarding Chinese automaker BYD's plans to invest in India, Piyush Goyal said there is currently no active proposal under consideration. “If anybody or any company comes with any proposal for Chinese investments, it goes through a process. We take a call on every application under that process,” he said."
