Industries Minister M B Patil on Friday invited billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk to invest in Karnataka, describing the state as “the ideal destination” for electric carmaker Tesla.
Patil’s invitation came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Musk, the Tesla chief executive, earlier this week. Tesla will be in India “as soon as humanly possible”, Musk said after meeting Modi.
“Karnataka: The ideal destination for Tesla’s expansion into India,” Patil said in a social media post.
Not just Tesla, Karnataka is also wooing Starlink, a broadband internet service from SpaceX that Musk owns.
