Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently met with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, sparking significant interest due to Musk’s business ambitions in India. During Modi’s U.S. visit to meet President Donald Trump, they discussed topics like space, mobility, technology, and innovation. Modi shared details of their meeting on social media platform X, highlighting Musk’s confidence that Tesla would soon enter the Indian market.
Musk’s meeting included his three young children, while Modi was accompanied by top advisers, including External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval. They discussed strengthening collaboration between Indian and U.S. entities in innovation, space exploration, artificial intelligence, and sustainable development, touching on entrepreneurship and good governance.
Musk expressed eagerness to introduce Starlink satellite internet in India, facing regulatory challenges and opposition from domestic telecom giants like Reliance Jio. India’s policy change to assign satellite spectrum rather than auctioning it may aid Starlink’s entry.
Tesla aims to enter India’s automotive market, hindered by high import duties. With India’s goal to boost electric vehicle sales to 30% by 2030, Tesla’s presence could benefit Indian consumers, create jobs, and advance the electric vehicle industry.
