In December, dropping a big hint on Tesla investing in Gujarat, a minister said that the company's co-founder and CEO, Elon Musk, has his eyes set on the state.
Addressing a Cabinet briefing, Gujarat Health Minister Rushikesh Patel was asked whether the EV maker is planning to invest in the state. "We are very hopeful, the Gujarat government is very hopeful. Elon Musk, who is the founder of Tesla, has his eyes set on the state. Let us hope they come to Gujarat," he said in Hindi.
The minister pointed out that other car manufacturers have their projects in Gujarat and that both the government and the people in the state are business-friendly.
