News India Live, Digital Desk: One of the world’s most popular industrialists, Alan Musk’s company ‘Starlink’ is almost ready to start its satellite internet service in India. The best and shocking news is that this service in India can be much cheaper than neighboring countries such as Pakistan and Bangladesh.

What is Starlink?

Understand in easy language, Starlink is a ‘sky internet’. It works through satellite, just as DTH works in your house. The biggest advantage of this is that it can deliver high-speed internet in places where it is difficult to lay a mobile tower or fiber cable, such as remote villages, mountainous areas or dense forests.

How much will be spent in India?

This is the biggest question. According to reports, Starlink’s monthly plan in India Around ₹ 2,000 It is possible Now we compare it to other countries:

  • Pakistan: Starlinks here are about 17,000 Pakistani rupees (about ₹ 5000).

  • Bangladesh: Here this service is found in around 8,000 Bangladeshi Taka (about ₹ 6,000).

  • America: In the US, it has to be given $ 120 (about ₹ 10,000) every month.


It is clear from this comparison that the company is making a special and affordable plan for India.

Once expense (hardware cost)

It is important to keep in mind that apart from the monthly plan, you will have to pay for hardware once. It consists of a small umbrella (dish), a Wi-Fi router and cable. It is priced at $ 599 (about ₹ 50,000) in the US. In India too, this expenditure can be between ₹ 40,000 to ₹ 50,000.

So should you take this?

If you live in the city and you have options for cheap and sharp broadbands like JioFiber or Airtel Xstream, then perhaps the starlink is not for you. But if you live in a place where internet connectivity is a major problem, Starlink can prove to be a game-changer for you.

At present, the company is waiting for the license from the Government of India, after which this service will be started for the common people.
