India’s industry secretary said the ball is now in Tesla Inc.’s court to lay down its investment plans for the South Asian nation after the government cut import duty on electric vehicles.
The industry department last month released a comprehensive policy for boosting EV manufacturing in the world’s most-populous nation. Following that move, it’s up to Elon Musk’s carmaker to “make the announcements of their manufacturing plans,” Rajesh Kumar Singh, secretary of department for promotion of industry and internal trade, told Bloomberg in an interview on Thursday.
