According to the reports, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) held a meeting on Monday with top officials to review the upcoming phase of EV manufacturing in the country, including Tesla’s investment proposal.
The Union Ministries of Commerce and Industry, Heavy Industry, and Electronics and Information Technology have been engaged in discussions about Tesla’s plans in India, following a meeting with PM Modi during the latter’s state visit to the US in June.
