Dreyer's post was in response to a Bloomberg report this week that said the government had frozen approvals for commercial operations over concerns about the use of Starlink terminals in Iran.

New Delhi:Starlink - Elon Musk's satellite-based internet services provider - remains active talks with the government and has received encouraging feedback on its capabilities to advance India's connectivity goals, a senior official of the firm said Wednesday.

On X (also owned by Musk), Lauren Dreyer, the vice president for Starlink's business operations, dismissed "misleading stories based upon unsubstantiated claims from anonymous sources" and said: "We have worked with the Government of India through all of the required regulatory and compliance processes in a transparent and responsible manner."

Starlink had applied for a licence to start satellite communications services in India. The government then issued a Letter of Intent but grant of the final license is awaited.
