Musk to brief Modi on Tesla’s India investment plans in U.S. meeting
Tesla chief executive Elon Musk will directly brief PM Narendra Modi on plans to set up a manufacturing base in India, a source with direct knowledge said.
The meeting, the first at a high level to discuss the expansion, will take place on Tuesday during Mr. 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 U.S. 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.
Mr. Musk will discuss investment plans and outlook with Mr. Modi, the source said, describing the planned discussion as a “high-level meeting about India’s economic potential”.
