Elon Musk, the company’s head, has made some comments on social media about the entry of Tesla cars into India.Musk alleged on Twitter that Tesla’s arrival in India was being delayed due to challenges facing the government.
However, many are angry over Elan’s remarks against the Indian government.Telangana IT Minister KTR Tesla responded to the remarks.
He first thanked Musk for launching their business operations in India.He said that Telangana was the champion especially in the areas of industrial development, investment and sustainability.
KTR said on Twitter that their state was a haven for investment in the country.
The Tesla chief has been trying for some time to launch their cars in India, which has the second largest market in the world in terms of market share.
The Indian government has been in talks with Musk on the issue for the past three years, but no agreement has been reached.This seems to be due to the conditions imposed by Elon.
Musk conditioned that the first foreign-made cars would be introduced in India and then a manufacturing unit would be set up.He also demanded a reduction in tariffs on car imports.There is still a stalemate over this.
In this context, a netizen on the release of Tesla cars in the Indian market asked an interesting question, tagging Musk, “Tesla cars are good .Is there any update on their release in India?” Responding to this, Musk replied, “We are facing many challenges with the Government of India and are still working on this.” This led to some controversy.The Indian government has strongly denied the allegations.There have also been reports in the national media that Musk is putting pressure on the government through social media.
Now KTR has also responded to Musk’s comments.
