National Times Bureau April 19, 2025: Elon Musk has confirmed that he will visit India later this year, following a conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Sharing the news on his social media platform X, Musk called the discussion with Modi “an honor” and expressed his excitement for the upcoming trip.
Their talk reportedly focused on India’s growing tech sector and the potential for future collaboration. This isn’t their first interaction—last year in Washington D.C., they had also discussed Tesla’s India plans, space tech, and investment opportunities.
Musk’s announcement comes at a time when Tesla is ramping up its hiring in India, particularly in Mumbai. The company is recruiting for roles in vehicle service, sales, and operations—signaling a renewed push to enter the Indian market. The Indian government’s recent decision to lower import duties on electric vehicles, especially those backed by a commitment to local manufacturing, is believed to have encouraged this move.
While an exact date hasn’t been revealed, Musk’s visit is expected to boost India’s image as a tech-forward nation and could mark a new chapter in the country’s EV and innovation ecosystem.
