New Delhi: Elon Musk has postponed his visit to India due to pressing Tesla commitments, with plans to reschedule later this year. His decision prompted various reactions online, with one user playfully postponing chai and samosa plans until Musk’s arrival. Others expressed support and gratitude for Musk’s professionalism and updates on the situation. Speculations arose regarding the reasons for the delay, with some suggesting it might be related to election results.
Anticipation was high for Musk’s visit, especially after his meeting with Prime Minister Modi in 2023, where he expressed his intentions to visit India in 2024. It was expected that Musk might announce Tesla’s plans for entering the Indian market, including potential manufacturing units and investments. Furthermore, discussions regarding Starlink’s opportunities in India were anticipated, pending regulatory approvals. Musk’s visit coincided with the government’s announcement of a new electric vehicle policy, which aimed to attract global players like Tesla with incentives for establishing manufacturing units in India.
