SpaceX will also seek legal government approvals for landing rights and market access, according to the report, adding that it will likely seek approvals from the Department of Communications (DoT) to establish local portals.

SpaceX and the Department of Transportation did not immediately respond to Reuter’s requests for comment after hours.

Earlier this year, the Indian government asked Starlink to return all of its pre-orders so it could obtain licenses to operate in the country.
