On July 9, Starlink, SpaceX's satellite internet service, successfully cleared a three-year regulatory process, securing approval to begin commercial operations in India. Then, on July 16, Tesla unveiled its inaugural showroom in Mumbai, enabling Indian consumers to purchase electric vehicles directly. These developments signify a pivotal shift for Musk in a challenging market where Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration governs. Despite Musk's ongoing legal battles with the Indian government over content regulations on his social media platform X, these achievements underscore a potential growth avenue in a nation where approximately 600 million individuals lack internet access. The approval from the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre for Starlink is particularly noteworthy, as it opens the door to an expansive untapped market of potential users.
