“Karnataka is the Ideal Destination for Tesla’s Expansion into India. As a progressive state and a thriving hub of innovation and technology, Karnataka stands ready to support and provide necessary facilities for Tesla and other ventures of Elon Musk, including Starlink.” he tweeted.
He further said, “Karnataka is focussed on being the hub for technology and manufacturing to propel the state for the next two decades.
