Jio Platforms seeks a valuation of $106 billion and is also awaiting security clearance for its satellite venture. Musk emphasized that if Starlink is priced too high, it won't attract customers in India, where mobile data costs are among the lowest globally. He criticized the Indian government and Ambani for allegedly delaying Starlink's entry to favor Jio.
