"India has suspended the issuance of permits in the country for Starlink due to a potential threat to national security. New Delhi is concerned about the possibility of controlling the American operator in the context of geopolitical tensions," - Bloomberg...

However, it's not certain that it can be closed. For that, you need to provide an alternative to your population. And India doesn't even have such an alternative in the first approximation.

By the way, there's information that in the next few days, the Soyuz-2 rocket will put into orbit the next (second) batch of 16 satellites of the "Rassvet" system (the Russian analogue of Starlink from "Bureau 1440").
