In third South Asia launch, Starlink now in Sri Lanka

On July 2, 2025, Starlink launched its satellite internet service in Sri Lanka, the third South Asian country after Bhutan and Bangladesh, marking its official regional debut.
Following regulatory reforms, Sri Lanka's telecommunications authority granted Starlink a five-year license in August 2024, enabling the satellite internet service's launch in the country.
Starlink plans in Sri Lanka cost 12,000–15,000 LKR monthly, with hardware kits priced between 60,200–118,000 LKR, according to official pricing data.
Starlink's launch in Sri Lanka bridges connectivity gaps and attracts digital nomads, enhancing digital infrastructure and remote access.
Starlink has cleared most regulatory requirements in India, with a $25 billion market potential, and services may start within two months.
