New Delhi. The India tour of Tesla, social media platform X and Space X owner Elon Musk has been postponed. Elon Musk himself had earlier told that he would visit India on 21 and 22 April. Musk had also shown a lot of enthusiasm about meeting PM Narendra Modi during his visit to India, but now the news is that he is going to visit India later, not in April. According to media reports, there are some tasks in Tesla that Elon Musk wants to do. For this reason he has postponed his India tour for the time being. It is being told that Elon Musk may visit India later this year.
Earlier there was news that during the meeting with PM Modi, Elon Musk will talk about the business of his Tesla car in India. There is talk that Elon Musk is going to set up a Tesla car manufacturing plant in India. According to the information, Elon Musk has to give information about Tesla’s first quarter performance on April 23. The conference call on Tesla’s first quarter performance may face problems due to the India tour. For this reason Elon Musk decided to postpone his visit to India. Regarding Elon Musk, sources had said that he wants to invest 20 to 30 billion dollars in India. There is talk about Musk that apart from Tesla car, he is also trying to bring his Starlink plan for internet from space to India.
India had not yet approved Tesla and Starlink due to regulations. Recently, Modi government gave some relaxation in the rules related to import of electric vehicles. This cleared the way for Tesla to come to India. Elon Musk wanted India to reduce the import duty on Tesla cars. Whereas, the Indian government said that there will be the same rules for everyone and the import duty cannot be reduced because of any one company.
