Days after Tesla CEO Elon Musk spoke about challenges with the government when asked about the electric car’s entry into the Indian market, Telangana urban development minister KT Rama Rao reached out to him and extended an invitation to partner with his company.
Rao, who is also the son of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, said their state is a champion of sustainability initiatives and his government is happy to work with Tesla to meet the challenges of doing business in the country.
“Hey Elon, I’m the Minister of Commerce and Industry of Telangana, India. Will be happy to work with Tesla on the challenge of setting up shop in India/Telangana. Our state is a champion of sustainability initiatives It is also a premier business destination in India.”
Two days ago, in response to a Twitter user asking when Tesla would launch in India, Musk said “still working through many challenges with the government.”
The leading entrepreneur has been pushing to lower import duties on its Tesla vehicles in India to make electric vehicles widely available.
India is the second most populous country in the world and one of the fastest growing economies.
