Battle for Indian Telecom

Sadanand Dhume examines the feud over access to India’s satellite internet market between Elon Musk’s Starlink and Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance. Musk accused Ambani of blocking Starlink, leading opposition leader Rahul Gandhi to claim government cronyism. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi avoids involvement due to complex political dynamics in New Delhi. (6)
