Tesla CEO Elon Musk has postponed his visit to India.
“Unfortunately, very heavy Tesla obligations require that the visit to India be delayed, but I do very much look forward to visiting later this year,” Musk said in a post on X on Saturday.
Musk was scheduled to visit India during April 21 and 22, and was expected to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and announce plans to enter the Indian market.
His visit garnered a lot of attention with the Union government notifying a new electric vehicle manufacturing policy just a few weeks ago. The new policy allows the government to give duty concessions to electric car companies committing to make in India.
Earlier this month, Musk had confirmed his proposed visit to India, saying he was looking forward to meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
