Amazon’s low-Earth orbit network has nearly 400 satellites in orbit and is eyeing India to expand satellite broadband services, Chris Hofer, Head of International Spectrum Management and Strategy at Amazon Leo said on Wednesday, according to news agency, PTI. Amazon Leo’s mission and goal is to connect the unconnected and the unserved, he said at the IAFI’s Space Policy Conference 2026. We have almost 400 satellites up. Seems like we can’t get rockets up fast enough manufacturing well over 15 satellites a week, so we’re very pleased to think (that) back in 2019 that this project…this program, was literally a piece of paper, and how far we’ve progressed. – Chris Hofer, Head of International Spectrum Management and Strategy at Amazon Leo India is a promising market: Amazon He said Amazon Leo is focused on expanding global connectivity services. Highlighting India as a promising market, Hofer described the country as having a highly digital-oriented administration and significant potential for satellite internet expansion. We are very well looking forward to bringing services around the world. And we certainly believe India is a great candidate, very digital-oriented administration. And of course, there are folks that are unconnected, and we believe we can bring competition in and connect those folks with the right broadband services. -Chris Hofer Amazon to invest $48 billion in India: The global e-commerce and technology giant had earlier said that it would allocate $48 billion or ₹4.51 lakh crore capital in India between 2026 and 2030.
