Tesla founder Elon Musk has hinted at its probable debut in India in response to a tweet, saying that it is holding talks with the government to temporarily exempt the multi-billion dollar company from import duties.

He also hinted that Tesla might set up a local plant in India to produce its Model 3 sedan.
