Eutelsat OneWeb asked India's Department of Telecommunications for immediate security approval to commercially launch its LEO satcom services, more than 18 months after completing its security compliance demonstration in January 2025, Inc42 and Tele.net.in reported around September 2, 2026. The Bharti-backed operator, the first satcom company to win a GMPCS licence in India back in August 2021, warned that continued delay risks leaving some of its aging satellites unusable before service can begin, despite already having built ground gateways in Mehsana, Gujarat and Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu.
