The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has mandated the testing and certification of satellite communication equipment, including non-geostationary orbit user terminals, effective 180 days post a February 25 notification. From August 2025, only certified equipment will be permitted for use and import in India, ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards. As major players like Eutelsat-OneWeb, Jio-SES, Starlink, and Amazon-backed Kuiper prepare to launch services, a competitive landscape is emerging over satcom spectrum allocation, with the government favoring non-auctioned licenses.
BSNL has reported a turnaround, adding 50-60 lakh subscribers in the last quarter and achieving positive EBITDA for the past two years, despite ongoing losses. The state-owned telecom operator is enhancing its infrastructure and services, particularly in remote areas, following a substantial revival package approved by the Union cabinet. Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia emphasized BSNL's commitment to using domestic equipment for its 4G and future 5G services, positioning the company to potentially lead in the telecom sector.
