Welcome competition but Indian laws apply to all: Reliance breaks silence on Musk's satcom row

Reliance Industries has responded to Elon Musk's criticism of India's satellite communications landscape, stating that it sees competition as a true test of who serves customers best and welcomes competition in the sector, including from Starlink.
