CALIFORNIA:

Tesla Inc will come to India early next year, country’s transport minister Nitin Gadkari told national daily the Indian Express on Monday.

The electric-car maker will start with sales and then might look at assembly and manufacturing based on the response, the minister told the newspaper. Tesla and the minister’s office could not be reached by Reuters for comment. India has been keen to reduce its oil dependence and cut down on pollution.
