On October 2, 2020, a Tesla fan club in India had asked Elon Musk on X (then Twitter) about the progress of the company’s entry into India. “Next year for sure,” Musk had replied.
The official confirmation of his interest came just two months later when Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari announced that Tesla was going to come the following year and set up a distribution facility (sales centre) for its cars in the country. And, if there was demand, possibly also set up manufacturing here.
