&imwidth=800&imheight=600&format=webp&quality=medium "Starlink accidentally posts India pricing due to glitch; final rates before service launch, says SpaceX")
Tech billionaire Elon Musk's Internet Services company Starlink has disclosed the pricing for its residential plan for India as the SpaceX-owned venture is inching closer to the launch of its services in the country. The announcement came following months of regulatory actions and technical preparations targeted at reaching far-off areas with limited broadband and fibre connectivity.
Starlink has updated its India website to display the cost of its internet packages. The Residential plan will cost Rs 8,600 monthly, with an additional Rs 34,000 for its hardware kit as a one-time payment. The company is promising a 30-day trial period to experience the connection before fully committing. The plan will entail unlimited data and 99.9 per cent uptime, and the ability to stay online even during adverse weather conditions.
However, the vice president of Starlink Business Operations, Lauren Dreyer, clarified, “Starlink India website is not live, service pricing for customers in India has not yet been announced, and we are not taking orders from customers in India”
“There was a config glitch that briefly made dummy test data visible, but those numbers do not reflect what the cost of Starlink service will be in India. The glitch was quickly fixed”, she posted on X.

This is the same plan Starlink provides worldwide, yet it carries added significance in India as it targets regions beyond the reach of conventional fibre networks.
