Elon Musk’s Starlink is starting security tests in India, one of the final hurdles for the company as it prepares to provide commercial satellite broadband services in the world’s most populous country, according to people familiar with the matter.

The series of tests is part of India’s security clearance process for foreign and domestic telecom operators.
