Elon Musk has announced on his social media platform X, that he would visit India to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi without giving a date.

The Tesla boss is expected to announce major investment plans in the country soon.

Last month, India cut import taxes on electric vehicles (EV) for global carmakers which commit to investing $500m (£399m) and starting local production within three years.

In 2021, the Tesla boss said that India’s high import duties had prevented the firm from launching its cars in the world’s fastest-growing major economy.
