Officials aware of the details told ET that letters to both the US-based firms were sent recently and the department is awaiting their reply. “Their applications can be processed only after they submit the compliance. The firms have so far not replied,” said a person familiar with the details.
Another official said the government will wait for some more time for their reply and may also send a reminder, but the applications won’t be processed till they agree to all the security conditions.
“There are various security-related compliances as well as those related to data, coverage area etc which satcom providers have to give to the government in order to offer services in India. All the boxes need to be ticked,” said a third official.
Queries sent to Starlink and Amazon remained unanswered at the time of going to press.
