‘Configuration messed up!’ After all, Starlink’s India connection can’t cost ₹8,600 per month

The Starlink India price plans, which were revealed to the public on Monday, December 8, were not actual price points, but a “configuration error!” Lauren Dreier, Starlink’s vice president of business operations, wrote on the social media platform “X” on Tuesday, December 9.

Dreier wrote in his post that the Starlink India website is not live yet and the service pricing for customers in India has not been announced yet. Dreyer further wrote, the company is not taking orders from customers even in India.

The Starlink India website is not live, service pricing for customers in India has not yet been announced, and we are not taking orders from customers in India.

There was a configuration glitch that caused dummy test data to be visible for a while, but those numbers don’t reflect what the cost is… https://t.co/TU8cUjcYGL

Elon Musk’s Starlink was granted five-year regulatory permission to do business in India in July this year.

According to the price cited due to the “glitch”, the home plan should have cost ₹8,600 per month, and the required hardware kit including satellite dish, router and related equipment was priced at ₹34,000, data on the dummy website showed on Monday.

according to starlinkOn its website, the services are ‘weatherproof’ and guarantee more than 99.9% uptime or uninterrupted internet connection. Users will benefit from ‘plug-and-play’ simplicity, which allows the system to begin providing Internet access without the need for complex setup once the hardware is installed.

“We are eager to connect the people of India to Starlink’s high-speed internet, and our teams are focused on obtaining final government approval to launch the service (and website),” Dreier wrote in his post.
