No tesla car production in India..!? Elon Musk...

Elon Musk has said that he will start a car manufacturing company in india only if he sells tesla vehicles and reduces the import tax. nitin gadkari, the Union minister for Road Transport and Highways, had earlier said that tesla has no restrictions on the production and sale of electric cars in india and that india has a wide market for electric cars.
He further said that there is a huge potential for the development of all-electric vehicles in india and that tesla could manufacture vehicles in india if it so desires and could export these vehicles from india to overseas.
But at the same time, he said that electric vehicles could not be allowed to be manufactured in china and sold in India. He said that india has all kinds of spare parts technologies and if tesla starts manufacturing electric cars in india, it will be of great benefit to india and Tesla.
In this context, is there any suggestion for tesla to start car production in India? Asked by a twitter user, Elon Musk said that no car manufacturing plant can be set up anywhere in india unless tesla is allowed to sell and service cars first.
Elon Musk also expressed his displeasure that the import duty on vehicles is higher in india than in any other country and that india imposes a 100 percent import tax on cars valued at more than the US $ 40,000 and 60 percent on cars below that value.
