‘Make in China, sell in India not done': Gadkari tells Tesla CEO Elon Musk

Published on Apr 26, 2022 04:54 pm IST

Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has said that U.S. electric vehicle maker Tesla Inc is welcome to set up shop in India, make cars there for sale and export them, but must not import cars from China. He said that making in China and selling in India is not a good proposition. Tesla is desperate to import and sell its electric vehicles in India, having lobbied officials in New Delhi for nearly a year to cut tariffs, which the company's billionaire chief executive Elon Musk says are among the highest in the world.
