Maharashtra Invites Tesla Following Elon Musk's Tweet About India Launch in 2022

Following Elon Musk's contempo announcement about his plans to possibly launch Tesla vehicles in Republic of india side by side year, Maharashtra's tourism and environment government minister, Aaditya Thackeray, has claimed that he and industries government minister, Subhash Desai, has already held a video conference with Tesla executives to invite them to the state.

In a tweet on Thursday, Thackeray said that he and Desai invited the Tesla team to Maharashtra in line with the state government's mission of bringing more jobs to the region. However, he also claimed that his business firm belief in sustainable and environment-friendly growth has made him have an active involvement in bringing the electric automaker to the country. "I was present not because of just the investment only my firm conventionalities in electric mobility & sustainability," he tweeted yesterday.

The developments follow Elon Musk's tweet earlier this week, when he hinted that the company might exist looking at bringing its electric vehicles to India in 2021. Replying to a tweet from The Tesla Society India about when the company plans to bring its vehicles to the country, Musk wrote "next year for sure". He, however, failed to offer an official timeline for the proposed launch.

Adjacent year for sure

It is worth noting that it wasn't the outset time Musk talked about bringing Tesla cars to Bharat. Final yr, in an interaction with students from IIT Madras, he stated that Tesla vehicles might be launched in India in 2020 itself, a promise that remains unfulfilled. He had earlier fifty-fifty claimed that the company might come to Indian shores by the end of 2019, but afterward blamed government policies for the change in plans.
