Elon Musk to meet PM Modi during his Upcoming US Visit 

PM Modi has departed for the United States for his first official State visit, where he will be greeted by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. The agenda is set for this brief trip, wherein he will not only meet and interact with several influential personalities of the American polity but also with top business executives of tech conglomerates, including Elon Musk. The Tesla founder is scheduled to meet PM Modi to discuss further prospects of bringing his company to India’s automobile market as soon as possible.

One of the biggest reasons why the Indian government has not allowed Tesla to enter the Indian market yet is because its components are manufactured in China. India has demanded Tesla set up manufacturing plants in India with no components imported from China in order to generate employment in the country. Elon Musk will make attempts to bring these negotiations to a finish in his meeting with PM Modi, who is also slated to interact with the Indian diaspora in the US and speak at US Congress. This will make him the first Indian Prime Minister to do so twice in his tenure.
