Bend, OR, October 13, 2026 — An influential Hindu group has formally urged the Indian government to block the satellite internet services offered by Starlink.

The call for the service blockage stems from a reported dispute between Elon Musk, the founder of Starlink’s parent company SpaceX, and Mukesh Ambani, a prominent Indian business magnate. Specific details regarding the nature or scope of this dispute were not immediately available.

The Hindu group, identified as influential within the region, has expressed its concerns to Indian authorities, recommending that Starlink’s operations within the country be halted. The reasons provided for this request are directly linked to the aforementioned disagreement involving Musk and Ambani.

As of the latest information, the Indian government’s response to this plea has not been disclosed. Furthermore, the specific actions, if any, that the government intends to take regarding Starlink’s services in India remain uncertain. The timeline for any potential decision or further developments is also not yet established.

Starlink, a division of SpaceX, aims to provide high-speed, low-latency broadband internet across the globe through a constellation of satellites. Its expansion into new markets, including India, has been a strategic focus for the company. However, regulatory approvals and operational challenges are common in such ventures.

The group’s intervention highlights the intersection of geopolitical, business, and technological interests in the Indian market. The outcome of this request could have implications for the future availability of Starlink’s services in India and potentially influence ongoing discussions or resolutions related to the dispute cited.

Further details regarding the specific demands of the Hindu group, the exact nature of the dispute between Elon Musk and Mukesh Ambani, and any official statements from Starlink or the Indian government are pending.
