The company is returning the amount that Starlink had taken from people for pre-orders. Starlink has also started sending e-mails to the users to return the money. SpaceX’s satellite internet division Starlink says the Department of Telecommunications has instructed it to do so. The company has been asked to return the pre-orders until it is licensed for internet service in India. Starlink is working on launching its services in 10 rural Lok Sabha constituencies of India. India is considered one of its major markets.

According to the reason given by Starlink in this e-mail for returning the pre-order, the timeline for obtaining the license to start the service in India is not yet known.
