A joint venture between Reliance Industries' Jio Platforms and SES has received approval from India's space regulator to offer gigabit fibre internet via satellites, as part of the Orbit Connect India project. This approval, granted by the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe), allows the venture to operate satellites over India. The move comes in the midst of a growing competition in the satellite communication sector in India, including companies like Amazon and Elon Musk's Starlink vying for similar approvals. The market for satellite broadband services in India is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, driving increased interest and investments in the country's space industry.
