The Indian government is set to allocate spectrum for satellite broadband services outside of auctions, following consultations within the communications ministry. This decision is in accordance with the Telecommunications Act of 2023, which permits administrative allocation for certain services. The Supreme Court had previously ruled that competitive auctions should be used for the distribution of public-owned natural resources, but the government's application for administrative allocation has not been accepted. The government is now preparing a reference to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) for consultation on the allocation of airwaves for satellite broadband.

Elon Musk has shown support for India's decision to allocate spectrum for satellite broadband instead of auctioning it. The move, which aligns with global standards, could facilitate the entry of satellite providers such as Starlink into the Indian market. This decision is a blow to Indian telecom giants Jio and Airtel, who have advocated for auctions similar to those used in terrestrial networks. However, the government's allocation approach may provide an advantage for international players like Starlink in obtaining an operating license in India.
