Starlink fixes Rs 8,600 monthly tariff in India

Elon Musk’s Starlink has inched closer to its long-awaited commercial debut in India, with the company displaying complete residential pricing on its local website.

The satellite-based internet service is priced at Rs8,600 per month, and new subscribers have to purchase a hardware kit for Rs34,000.

The residential plan is designed to help users assess service quality in their area before committing to it long-term, with unlimited data and a 30-day trial period.

Starlink emphasises features like plug-and-play installation, more than 99.9 per cent uptime, ex-treme weather resistance, and no data caps for its push to reach those consumers in regions where terrestrial broadband remains unreliable.
