India is pushing hard to set up clear rules for its satellite‑communication industry, said Neeraj Mittal, secretary of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), in a statement at the India Mobile Congress (IMC 2025) in New Delhi.
Mittal told that the government is working closely with satellite providers, regulators and industry groups to lock in pricing, spectrum allocation and security standards. “We will finish these rules soon, and once that’s done, the service can launch,” he said.
The date was highlighted at the first‑ever Satcom Summit, which gathered policymakers, telecom leaders and tech experts to discuss how satellites can bring internet to India’s most remote areas. Union Minister Jyotiraditya M. Scindia opened the summit, calling satellite communication a national necessity and the backbone of resilient infrastructure. He said that India’s new NISAR mission shows the country is not just participating but leading in space technology.
Scindia also praised the Digital Highway—an 11‑year national effort that has connected millions of people across the country and positioned India at the heart of the global digital map. “Under Prime Minister Modi, we’ve built the world’s largest digital network, reaching even the remotest regions,” he said.
The focus remains on delivering affordable, high‑quality satcom services that keep India connected from the biggest cities to the smallest villages.
