Starlink India has officially revealed the pricing for its Residential package, marking a major step toward its full commercial launch in the country. The service, aimed at providing high-speed internet to areas with limited or unreliable broadband, combines a monthly subscription with a one-time hardware fee.
Key Details:
Monthly subscription: ₹8,600
One-time hardware kit cost: ₹34,000
Unlimited data included
30-day trial for new users
99.9% uptime in all weather conditions
Easy plug-and-play setup
Targeted at households and communities with limited or inconsistent broadband connectivity
While the Residential plan pricing is out, Starlink has yet to reveal details for its Business subscription, expected in the coming weeks as rollout plans progress.
Starlink is ramping up its India operations in the lead-up to its commercial rollout. In late October, SpaceX posted multiple job openings in Bengaluru, including roles in payments, accounting, and tax management, signaling efforts to expand its local presence. The company has also planned ground stations in key cities to ensure network stability and improve service quality.
Musk's remarks suggested that Starlink might enter the Indian market, where dependable broadband remains scarce for numerous rural and remote areas.
