Hyderabad: Hyderabad, which is attracting many multinational companies, is likely to get units from Tesla and BYD soon.
According to Money Control, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy informed a select audience at the Indian High Commission in London that the state is in active communication with these companies.
However, in July 2023, New Delhi denied permission for BYD to establish a manufacturing unit in Hyderabad.
Tesla’s interest in India
For over two years, Tesla has been exploring entry into the Indian market.
Former Industry and Commerce Minister of Telangana, KT Rama Rao, had previously reached out to Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, on social media, inviting him to the state.
