Let me answer your question with a question, where did you hear this rumor?

Exactly this. I certainly wouldn't put any 🇮🇳 rupees on it. The satellite bases, I thought were a way to assuage the decline in QOL for 737 upgrades by offering a close to home domicile. With the forced upgrades now there is zero incentive for them to open more satellites.
