Elon Musk met PM Modi last year
When Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the US in June last year, Elon Musk met him. Meanwhile, Musk described himself as a fan of Modi and said that Tesla would invest in India. On the other hand, Tesla company said in July last year that it was interested in opening a factory in India to make EVs priced at $24,000.
Elon Musk first showed interest in investing in India in early 2019. However, he objected to the high import tax. But the Indian government has made it clear that concessions will be considered if Tesla sets up a manufacturing plant in India. The government has not allowed Tesla to sell China-made cars in India. The government asked Elon Musk's company to set up a manufacturing plant in the country so that production can be done for domestic sales and export.
