Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday spelt out the Modi government’s stand on Tesla’s plans for India. He said the US-based Tesla may manufacture its electric vehicles in India but the company must not import cars from China.
“If Elon Musk (Tesla CEO) is ready to manufacture in India then there is no problem … Come to India, start manufacturing, India is a large market they can export from India,” he said in an interactive session at the Raisina Dialogue.
Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk had said in January that the firm was facing a lot of challenges with the government while launching its products in India. He, however, did not elaborate on the kind of problems that the firm was facing.
