Prime Minister Narendra Modi said investments are welcome from whoever wishes to invest in India, but the products should be built by Indians so that young people can get employment opportunities. He made the remark while answering a question about the possibility of Elon Musk bringing Tesla and Starlink into India.
In an interview with ANI news agency, PM Modi said, "I want investment to come to India. It doesn't matter who has invested money, (but) the sweat put into the work must be that of our own people. The product should have the essence of our soil, so that the young people in the country will get employment opportunities."
The Prime Minister's remark came on a day when Reuters news agency reported that Tesla is searching for suitable locations to set up showrooms in New Delhi and Mumbai with the aim of beginning sales later this year.Â
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is also planning to visit India later this month to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he confirmed on X a few days ago.Â
PM Modi also remarked on Tesla CEO Elon Musk's statement that he is a "fan of Modi" and said the owner of X is a "supporter of India". Musk had made the remark after meeting the Prime Minister in New York in June last year.Â
"Look, the first thing saying that Elon Musk is a supporter of Modi is one thing, basically, he is a supporter of India. And I just met him. It's not like that," he told ANI.
