India has the capability to develop satellite internet infrastructure, but the question is why any company would invest heavily in it when the demand may not justify the cost. Currently, India has decent internet connectivity across most parts. While the speed isn't the best, Indian users tend to prioritize affordability over performance. Airtel and Jio already have well-established 5G networks and extensive infrastructure for fiber broadband and air fiber services, with significant market penetration. The number of people who can afford satellite internet is relatively small and those willing to pay for it are even fewer. This limits the potential customer base, making it less attractive for these companies to invest so much large amounts of capital in satellite infrastructure.
