Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal visited the Tesla factory unit in Fremont and interacted with the senior executives of the Tesla group on Tuesday amidst reports that the government is considering tax breaks on imported electric vehicles (EV) at the request of the owner Elon Musk when he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his US visit in June.
Goyal is in San Francisco to attend the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) for Prosperity and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum. India is a member of the former and observer of the latter. IPEC is supposed to develop alternative linkages while excluding China.
