Speaking about the development, Karnataka's Industries Minister Jagadish Shettar said that the officials led by the state's Principal Secretary are in constant dialogue with the company and that the state government is prepared to extend all kinds of support.

However, it should be noted that Shettar also shared that presently there is no clarity on what Tesla would do with the newly incorporated Indian company. He emphasised that the company's registration is the first step.
