The listing quickly went viral, prompting speculation that the company had quietly opened orders in India.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Lauren Dreyer, Vice President and Senior Director of Starlink Business Operations at SpaceX, addressed the confusion on X, saying:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> \u201cThe Starlink India website is not live, service pricing for customers in India has not yet been announced, and we are not taking orders.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">She added that a configuration issue had briefly exposed dummy data:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> \u201cThose numbers do not reflect what the cost of Starlink service will be in India.

The state government recently signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) with Starlink Satellite Communications Private Limited to deploy satellite internet across remote districts, including Gadchiroli, Nandurbar, Dharashiv and Washim. The agreement, signed in the presence of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and IT Minister Ashish Shelar, makes Maharashtra the first Indian state to partner with Starlink formally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Welcoming Starlink\u2019s leadership to Mumbai, CM Fadnavis wrote on X:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> \u201cIt is our honour that the company is arriving in India and partnering with Maharashtra.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\ude80 A proud milestone for Maharashtra!Under the leadership of CM Devendra Fadnavis we have become the first Indian State to partner with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Starlink?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@Starlink<\/a> to deliver satellite-based internet connectivity across our remotest regions \u2014 subject to necessary approvals from the Government of\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JoZb2RbyYf\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/JoZb2RbyYf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CMO Maharashtra (@CMOMaharashtra) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CMOMaharashtra\/status\/1986059534541230258?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">November 5, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3 midgprfd\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3 midgprfdbtn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/dlxczavtqcctuei\/news18\/static\/images\/english\/google-color.svg\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" alt=\"\" class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3\"\/><span class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3\">Click here to add News18 as your preferred news source on Google. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-1580314621 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>December 09, 2025, 07:57 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-1580314621 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/india\/\">india<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Starlink Calls India Prices \u2018Dummy Data,\u2019 Says Website Listing Was Triggered By Glitch<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
