Reliance Jio is targeting September 2027 for a test launch of its proposed low-Earth-orbit satellite network, Inc42 reports. According to the outlet, Jio expects around 90–100 satellites to be deployed shortly afterward, potentially enabling connectivity in India from 2028. Its plan calls for 400–450 satellites by 2030 and completion of the 1,600-satellite constellation by 2035.
