<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Kolkata: Nelco<\/a>, a Tata group<\/a> satcom<\/a> company, plans to enter the consumer satellite broadband space in India, a move that will directly pit it against Elon Musk-owned satellite company, Starlink, which is also looking to operate fast satellite internet services in the country on a business-to-consumer (B2C) model.

The Tata group<\/a> company, though, will apply for a relevant satellite broadband services permit once it has clarity on the contours of India’s new space policy<\/a> that was cleared by the Cabinet recently.

“Nelco<\/a> has ambitions to enter the consumer satellite broadband space in India once the appropriate technology, satellite systems and user terminals are available at the right commercials to deliver the services at affordable rates in the country,” P J Nath, the company’s managing director, told ET.

The Tata group company’s plans to enter India’s consumer satellite broadband space comes at a time when the likes of Bharti-backed OneWeb, Starlink, Reliance Jio and Amazon’s Project Kuiper are all eyeing the emerging satellite broadband opportunity in the country. EY estimates India’s space economy to grow to about $13 billion by 2025 from around a $1billion annual revenue opportunity now.

Nath added that though Nelco had withdrawn its GMPCS (global mobile personal communications by satellite services) licence application for now, it would decide on re-applying for the same and\/or any other relevant satellite service licence once the details of the new space policy<\/a> are known.

The Cabinet had reportedly cleared the Indian Space Policy 2023 a week ago but the government is yet to announce details. Industry experts widely expect the policy to clear the air around foreign ownership limits for low-earth orbit (LEO) and medium-earth orbit (MEO) satellite constellation operators— classified as non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) players—looking to launch fast broadband-from-space services in India.

The space policy is also likely to define the role of the Indian National Space Promotion & Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe)—a central regulatory body—and authorise it to issue crucial landing rights and market access approvals that satellite operators would require to deploy their global constellations in India.

Telecom Diary: Will Satcom spectrum auction impact Digital India vision?<\/a><\/h2>

But if there is an auction of Satcom spectrum, will it create hurdles in the government’s plan of a Digital India? Experts are divided as globally the satcom spectrum has never been auctioned since it’s a shared resource and an auction method may not be a practical solution. Satellite spectrum cannot be assigned on an exclusive basis as satellite spectrum along with orbital slots are used for cross-border services, making the auction route not feasible.<\/p><\/div>
