New Delhi: Fresh complaints from the founder of Tesla Elon Musk about “challenge” investments in India have received sharp retorts from the government, which hit the free company using incentive windows (PLI) related to production to produce electric vehicles.
Following periodic tweets from Musk who are looking for wounds in import duties, government sources say that American businessmen tried to put pressure on cutting tariffs without commitment to produce in India.
“At present, Musk can bring Tesla’s car in the form of CKD (fully surprised) with zero tasks and assembling and selling it here,” said a government source, amid a clear indication that the policy that supports one producer is not acceptable.
On Thursday, Musk again talked about “challenges” in establishing a business in India, comments that came when rivals such as Mercedes-Benz began a local Electrics Highend Assembly such as EQ in the country and others like Audi were reflecting to follow it.
Musk gave updates to the query on Twitter.
“Still working on many challenges with the government,” Musk said, when asked for India Tesla’s plan.
