NEW DELHI: Tesla Motors and SpaceX chief executive officer (CEO) Elon Musk may finally visit India sometime 'early next year'. Replying to a tweet from a user, Musk, who was in China earlier this week, revealed his possible plans about coming to India.In May this year, Musk had hinted that his company Tesla Motors was still not quite ready to drive into India. However he had went on to add that the company "would love to be in India" and the timeline will be decided by none other that one of India's own.Back then, Musk had replied to a Twitter user who had said, “No Tesla in India” in response to the tech boss’ tweet on the global map of Tesla superchargers along with the ones coming soon.Read full story here: Tesla India: Elon Musk says this Indian will decide Tesla’s India fateA year prior to that, in May 2017, Musk had said Tesla's plans in India may be put on hold."Maybe I'm misinformed, but I was told that 30% of parts must be locally sourced and the supply doesn't yet exist in India to support that," he had tweeted. The Indian government, was however to quick respond to Musk. The commerce and industry ministry through its 'Make in India' Twitter handle had stated that the foreign direct investment (FDI) policy does not mandate any such minimum sourcing of components by manufacturers.In February 2017, Musk had said Tesla may launch in India during the summer, also in response to a Twitter user who wanted to know the timeline for Tesla’s India launch.Tesla started taking bookings from Indian customers for its $35,000 (over Rs 23.5 lakh) Model 3 sedan in April 2016. This was around the same time when it unveiled the car to the world .The starting price for the Model 3 is $35,000.The booking, which is worth $1,000, saw the Indian corporates like Paytm’s Vijay Shekhar Sharma, venture capitalist Mahesh Murthy, and Fitness tech company GOQii’s Vishal Gondal sign up.The Indian government has an ambitious plan to have more than 30 percent of vehicles run on electricity by 2030 in a bid to lower air pollution and curb reliance on traditional fossil fuels such as petrol and diesel.
