India Grants License to Starlink: A New Era for Satellite Internet Connectivity

India’s Department of Telecommunications granted Starlink a GMPCS license in June 2025, making it the country’s third satellite broadband provider after Eutelsat OneWeb and Reliance Jio. Starlink plans to launch services by August, focusing on rural and remote regions, with hardware priced at ₹33,000 and monthly plans at ₹3,000. The rollout will require local gateways, data storage, and security trials. Airtel and Jio signed distribution deals with SpaceX in March.

Sugar Prices Bolstered by Gasoline Surge and Supply Disruptions
March 21, 2026, 1:38 AM EDT. May New York sugar futures rose 1.43% to a five-month high, while May London white sugar slipped 0.38% amid a stronger dollar. Soaring gasoline prices, hitting a 3.5-year peak, are boosting ethanol costs, encouraging mills to shift from sugar to ethanol production. Supply constraints from the Strait of Hormuz closure have cut about 6% of global sugar trade, supporting prices despite expectations of a global surplus. Analysts predict sugar surpluses between 1.22 to 3.4 million metric tons for 2025/26 and 2026/27. Production gains in India, Thailand, and Pakistan contrast with Brazil's weaker output in January. India's sugar output surged 10.5% year-on-year to 26.2 MMT but ethanol diversion estimates were lowered, possibly freeing more sugar for export. India's government recently approved an extra 500,000 MT for export, pressuring prices.
