India’s transport minister Nitin Gadkari told The Indian Express back in December the U.S. electric carmaker would start with sales and then might look at assembly and manufacturing.
The move comes as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is promoting the production and use of electric vehicles to reduce the country’s oil dependence and cut down on pollution.
