Elon Musk delays India trip due to Tesla commitments

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has postponed his planned trip to India due to “very heavy” obligations at Tesla. His visit was expected to include a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the confirmation that Tesla will build a factory in India, the world’s most populous country. Musk expressed his disappointment in having to delay the visit on X, and stated that he looks forward to visiting later this year.

In addition to meeting with Modi, Musk had plans to meet leaders of Indian space tech startups during his visit, including Pawan Chandana, the co-founder of Skyroot Aerospace. Musk, who is also the boss of rocket company SpaceX, was expected to announce an investment of $2-3 billion in India, mainly for building the new Tesla factory. His visit was scheduled just after India commenced the world’s largest democratic election, in which Modi is expected to win a rare third consecutive term as prime minister.
