Dwells on top domestic and global players that are coming up with high-performing electric four-wheelers, points to surging demand for the new tech that Tesla has claimed to champion over past decade

Requesting Tesla chief executive officer Elon Musk to manufacture the electric four-wheelers in India, Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday said that the competitiveness of the country's automotive parts industry and market would ensure that it's a win-win for both Musk and India.

“In India, there is a huge market. So it is a win-win situation for both (Musk and India). All automotive part manufacturers are available here,” Gadkari said, adding that it will result in ‘good profits’ for Musk and ‘good economics’ for India.
