Starlink has launched its internet service in Sri Lanka, the company chief Elon Musk confirmed on Wednesday.

“Starlink now available in Sri Lanka!” Musk said on X.

Last month, the company launched its services in Bangladesh.

In March this year, Pakistan also granted a temporary No Objection Certificate (NOC) to Starlink to operate in Pakistan.

Earlier this year, two Indian telecom giants, Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio, also signed pacts with SpaceX to bring Starlink internet services to the country.
