In December, the minister dropped a big hint about Tesla’s investment in Gujarat, saying the company’s co-founder and CEO Elon Musk was keeping an eye on the state.
Gujarat Health Minister Rushikesh Patel was asked at a cabinet meeting whether EV makers had any plans to invest in the state. “We are very hopeful and the Gujarat government is also very hopeful. Tesla founder Elon Musk is keeping an eye on the state,” he said in Hindi. I hope you will come.”
The minister pointed out that other automakers are also pursuing projects in Gujarat, making it business-friendly for both the government and the people of the state.
