Tesla chief executive Elon Musk will directly brief Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on plans to set up a manufacturing base there, a source with direct knowledge said.
The meeting, the first at a high level to discuss the expansion, will take place on Tuesday during Modi’s state visit to the United States, said the source, who declined to be named as the discussions will be private.
Executives of the US automaker visited India and held talks with Indian bureaucrats and ministers last month on establishing a manufacturing base for cars, and also to make batteries in India.
