This partnership between the government and Starlink will benefit the public by providing high-speed internet access even in areas with limited mobile and broadband coverage. Satellite internet is being seen as a promising solution for areas where expanding mobile networks or laying fiber cables for broadband is difficult. This partnership between Musk and the government will accelerate Gujarat's digital connectivity mission.

The government stated that this initiative will support a variety of public services, including common service centers, e-governance platforms, primary health centers, and schools. It will be used for disaster management systems, telemedicine services, ports, and other government institutions. Improved connectivity in the state will strengthen communication systems during emergencies and help deliver health and education services to tribal districts.
