Tesla coming to India? Elon Musk drops major hint
On Friday, Tech billionaire Elon Musk congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his re-election for a record third term in the country.
In a post on X, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO said his companies are looking to invest in the country soon.
“Congratulations Narendra Modi on your victory in the world’s largest democratic elections. Looking forward to my companies doing exciting work in India,” Musk wrote.
Tesla is likely to set up its manufacturing unit in India and make large-scale investments.
Last year, Tesla approached the Indian government seeking duty cuts to import its vehicles in the country.
In April this year, Musk postponed his proposed visit to India due to “very heavy Tesla obligations”.
Musk later said he looks forward to coming to India later this year.
“Unfortunately, very heavy Tesla obligations require that the visit to India be delayed, but I do very much look forward to visiting later this year,” Musk posted on X.
Musk met PM Modi in June last year in the US, expressing confidence that Tesla would enter the Indian market soon, along with Starlink.
