Barely hours after the U.S. billionaire Elon Musk announced on his social media platform X that he would be postponing his visit to India — scheduled for April 21-22 — to “later this year” owing to “Tesla obligations”, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that India was committed to making policies to attract big companies for investment in the wake of growing concerns around China.
“Policies have been made to attract investments. We want manufacturers and investors to come and produce not just for India but also for exports. We will try to attract manufacturers and investors through policies,” she said while responding to a query about Mr. Musk’s visit.
“When big companies show interest to come to India, we will do everything to make it attractive for them to come and invest. In that process, if there is anything to discuss, we will certainly discuss. But whatever we have done, we have done it through policy,” she added.
