Elon Musk meeting on PM Modi’s US agenda as India seeks Tesla factory
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi will likely meet Elon Musk today on a visit to the US as the country woos Tesla Inc. to make electric cars locally, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The meeting, which will potentially include more than 20 other high-profile individuals, is expected to take place early evening in New York, the person said, asking not to be identified as the matter is private.
The rendezvous comes after Tesla and India revived dialog in May following a year-long stand-off. While Tesla executives talked about the domestic sourcing of parts and incentives with government officials during their recent India visit, it didn’t culminate in a proposal to set up a plant.
