Amazon Leo must reapply for India satcom authorization
Mint reported September 9, 2026 that India's Department of Telecommunications cancelled Amazon Leo's pending GMPCS application under the new Telecom Act 2023 authorization regime, so the company must file a fresh request. An official said DoT is not bound to notify applicants of the cancellation. Starlink, OneWeb and Jio already hold licenses and will migrate later; Amazon Leo is also scouting last-mile partners in India and did not comment.
