Elon Musk, SpaceX\u2019s founder and CEO, announced the service\u2019s availability in the country on his social media platform X, formerly Twitter. It is important to note that Sri Lanka is the third market to allow the service in South Asia after Bhutan and Bangladesh. In Asia, Starlink is already available in countries such as Mongolia, Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Jordan, Yemen, and Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n<p>Starlink operates the world\u2019s largest constellation of satellites, with over 6,750 satellites currently in orbit. It provides high-speed, low-latency internet to millions of users across the globe, as per the company website. Starlink is awaiting regulatory approvals in all of India\u2019s neighbouring countries, except China: the firm has published a map showing it is awaiting clearances in Myanmar, Nepal and Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>What is Starlink\u2019s current exchange rate?<\/p>\n<p>At current exchange rates, Starlink is priced at Rs 3,430\u20134,280 (12,000\u201315,000 LKR) per month for residential connections, and Rs 4,280\u20138,560 (15,000\u201330,100 LKR) for portable \u2018roam\u2019 plans. The one time hardware equipment is priced at Rs 17,185\u201333,685 (60,200\u20131,18,000 LKR). The prices are roughly comparable to those announced for the other two South Asian countries.<\/p>\n<p>Starlink in India:<\/p>\n<p>Notably, SpaceX\u2019s Starlink has cleared most of the regulatory and licensing requirements in India. With this development, Starlink has moved a step closer to launching its satellite internet services in the country. Elon Musk\u2019s satellite communications company received its licence from the Department of Telecommunications last month, nearly three years after submitting its initial application.<\/p>\n<p>Starlink in Sri Lanka:<\/p>\n<p>Sri Lanka had 21.5 million mobile broadband connections (the country classifies 3G and 4G connections under broadband), and 2.6 million fixed line broadband connections as of March 2025, according to the latest monthly report by the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Home News Starlink Launch Big Update: THIS India\u2019s neighbour gain Elon Musk\u2019s Internet network, not Bangladesh, China, Pakistan,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":42739,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[66,712,33537,11182,33546,33549,33547,26927,33543,33540,33544,33542,33539,33548,33541,33538,33545,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-42738","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-internet","8":"tag-elon-musk","9":"tag-internet","10":"tag-internet-provider","11":"tag-starlink","12":"tag-starlink-in-azerbaijan","13":"tag-starlink-in-bangladesh","14":"tag-starlink-in-china","15":"tag-starlink-in-india","16":"tag-starlink-in-indonesia","17":"tag-starlink-in-japan","18":"tag-starlink-in-jordan","19":"tag-starlink-in-malaysia","20":"tag-starlink-in-mongolia","21":"tag-starlink-in-pakistan","22":"tag-starlink-in-philippines","23":"tag-starlink-in-sri-lanka","24":"tag-starlink-in-yemen","25":"tag-technology","26":"tag-united-states","27":"tag-unitedstates","28":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114804975400802310","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42738"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42738\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
