This declaration highlights India’s growing
significance in the field of sustainable transportation and represents a
critical turning point in Musk’s global expansion strategy. According to Shri Goyal, Musk sees India
not only as a lucrative market but also as a strategic base for serving global
markets.
Shri Goyal mentioned the global significance of
India’s emergence as a leader in electric mobility, emphasizing that the world
has taken notice of the country’s strides in this field.
Musk’s
plan goes beyond just making automobiles; it also includes building facilities for charging,
producing batteries, and possibly even doing research and development. A
comprehensive strategy like this shows Musk’s dedication
to incorporating Tesla into Indian society and promoting sustainability
and creativity.
In addition to improving India’s standing as
a location for international investment, Tesla’s presence in the country
encourages cooperation and knowledge sharing in the sustainability
and technology sectors.
According to Shri Goyal, Prime Minister Modi’s
endorsement of India as the world’s hub for electric mobility is a significant
development. He emphasized that this declaration has garnered attention from
major companies worldwide, who are now considering India as their manufacturing
base for electric vehicles in the future.
When asked Maharashtra and Gujarat will be considered
as the potential destinations for Tesla, Goyal laughed and said, “Hum Bharat ke
rehne wale hai Bharat ki baat karte hai.” As a prospective Member of Parliament from Mumbai North, Goyal
emphasized the importance of prioritizing India’s interests and fostering
economic growth across the nation.
