American tech billionaire Elon Musk shared on Saturday that his upcoming visit to India has been delayed due to "very heavy Tesla obligations."
The electric carmaker Tesla CEO -- who was expected to be in India on April 21 and 22 and scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi -- wrote on X that he is looking forward to coming to India later this year.
"Unfortunately, very heavy Tesla obligations require that the visit to India be delayed, but I do very much look forward to visiting later this year," Musk wrote on X in response to a post, which stated that his India visit planned for April 21-22 has been postponed as the reason could be that he needs to attend Tesla's earnings call on April 23.
Earlier this month, he had confirmed his visit to India with a post on X saying, "Looking forward to meeting with Prime Minister @NarendraModi in India."
Musk met with Modi in June last year during the latter's visit to the US. Musk then said he planned to visit India in 2024 while expressing confidence that Tesla would enter the Indian market soon.
His India visit led to speculation that he might be planning to set up a Tesla factory in the country.
Not just electric cars, he is also eyeing the Indian market for his satellite internet business Starlink, for which regulatory approvals are awaited.
