Starlink’s Residential Price For Indian Users
According to the company’s official website, Starlink’s satellite-based internet service will be available for residential buyers at Rs. 8,600 per month. Included in the package are 99.9% uptime, unlimited data, all-weather internet, a plug-and-play setup, and a 30-day trial for new users.

Initially, Starlink was expected to offer monthly subscription plans priced between Rs. 3,000 and Rs. 4,000 in India, along with a one-time cost. However, with the official pricing, Starlink appears to have opted for a more premium model for its residential users.
This will surely position the service toward customers who value satellite connectivity over traditional broadband. Still, at Rs. 8,600 per month, Starlink is multiple times more expensive than the typical fiber-based or 5G broadband services that Indian customers are used to.

However, for users in remote, semi-urban, or underserved areas, Starlink could present a compelling solution. In the coming days, the company should also reveal the prices for its business buyers.
