Elon Musk's potential Tesla factory in India has drawn criticism from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who called it "very unfair" during a recent interview. Trump cited India's high import tariffs, which Musk confirmed at 100% for U.S. auto imports. This comes as Tesla begins hiring in India, fueling speculation about its market entry. Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of India has updated its foreign investment guidelines, clarifying rules on downstream investments and stock transactions. These developments occur against the backdrop of India's efforts to attract foreign investment, with FDI inflows rising 42% to $42.13 billion in the January-September 2024 period.
