Serum Institute of India (SII) CEO Adar Poonawalla on Sunday wooed Elon Musk to invest in India to manufacture Tesla electric cars, saying it will be the best investment he would have ever made.
In a post on Twitter, tagging Musk, Poonawalla said, ”… just in case you don’t end up buying @Twitter, do look at investing some of that capital in INDIA for high-quality large-scale manufacturing of @Tesla cars.” He further said, ”I assure you this will be the best investment you’ll ever make.”
Hey @elonmusk just in case you don't end up buying @Twitter, do look at investing some of that capital in INDIA for high-quality large-scale manufacturing of @Tesla cars. I assure you this will be the best investment you'll ever make.

However, Elon Musk seems to be disinterested in manufacturing the electric car in India, said reports. His utter disinterest in responding to several requests made by the Indian government, especially by Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari, comes in the wake of reports that the team he hired in India last year has now been diverted to focus on the Middle East and the larger Asia-Pacific markets.
Musk had earlier tweeted that he faced challenges from the government for releasing its products in India. “Tesla isn’t in India yet due to “Challenges with the government”, he posted.
