Unfortunately, very heavy Tesla obligations require that the visit to India be delayed, but I do very much look forward to visiting later this year, Musk wrote on Twitter.

Looking forward to meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in India, he wrote. The factory would manufacture entry-level electric cars, speculated to be Model 2, despite recent question marks around the development of the product.

Musk’s visit was highly anticipated, as it was expected to provide a significant boost to India’s electric vehicle industry. However, the delay due to very heavy Tesla obligations has put the plans on hold. Nevertheless, Musk remains keen on visiting India later in the year, keeping hopes alive for the much-awaited announcement regarding Tesla’s entry into the Indian market.
