Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

===================================================

Will history repeat itself ?

A few years back , when Mamta Banerjee threw TATA NANO Motors out of W Bengal, Shri Narendra Modi ( at that time, CM of Gujarat ) sent following SMS to Ratan Tata :

“ Welcome to Gujarat “

Within 14 months TATA started production of NANO cars at Sanand ( Gujarat )

That cryptic invite by CM , prompted many other foreign Car Manufacturers ( and Auto Component manufacturers ) to set up production facilities at Sanand

Now current Gujarat CM , Shri Vijaybhai Rupani , too is a BANIA – but with a difference !

He does not like ambiguity / uncertainty / leaving things to imagination !

So most likely, his WhatsApp Message ( or posting on Elon Musk’s Twitter page ), is likely to be :

“ Elon , welcome to Gujarat for setting up your Tera-Factory

Attached find :

Ø  Relevant GR ( Government Resolution ) of Gujarat Government, allotting to TESLA , a 10,000 acre plot of land ( absolutely FREE of COST ), next to MUNDRA port

Ø  A Google Map of the land showing attached ADANI Jetty ( for exporting TESLA EVs, all over the World )

Ø  Draft of a Joint Sector MOU ( between Gujarat Govt / Ambani / Adani and TESLA )

Please indicate date / time when we can discuss using ZOOM ,

Ø  MOU draft

Ø  Other incentives that my government may extend to your EV project

Ø  Appointment of OSD ( Officer on Special Duty ) who will obtain all permissions in advance and work for successful and quick implementation of your project. He will be a Secretary level officer with no other duty   

===================================================

WHO WILL BRING WHAT TO THE TABLE ?


[ A ]….. Rupani ( Gujarat Government )

Ø  Free land + other incentives +  Free Electricity + relaxed labour laws + advance permissions / exemptions


[ B ]…… Ambani

Ø  Finance + Online Marketing Network of Reliance Retail / Reliance Jio + Reliance Petrol Pumps converted into EV battery Charging Stations


[ C ]….. Adani

Ø  An automated / dedicated jetty at MUNDRA port + Solar-based electricity from its Solar Farms


[ D ]….. Musk

Ø  Latest battery technology unveiled on Battery Day to bring down Battery cost to $ 50 / Kwh , which can bring down the “ On-road Selling Price of a EV to Rs 7 lakhs “ ( unbeatable for world-wide exports )

 

Ø  GRID-SIZE Lithium-Ion Battery Storages for storing 317 GW of Solar Power potential at deserts of Kutchh – Spiti – Ladakh etc

 

Ø  Mass production of Solar-powered Roof Tiles ( to create EV Battery Charging Points in every building ) – thereby eliminating / reducing need for roadside Battery Charging stations . EVs can be charged at home during night

Why PM Narendra Modi visited Tesla Motors headquarters  /  06 Oct 2015

 

Extract :

  When Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Tesla Motors headquarters near San Francisco last week, he was almost reading the writing on the wall, that solar is going to be the fuel of this century.

 At Tesla, Modi was not really looking to bring the technology behind Elon Musk’s highly successful, but extremely expensive, cars to India.

In fact, the Indian delegation had its eyes on his Powerwall and how this solar battery could help us tap one resource we have in abundance.

The $3000 Tesla Powerwall, or any similar concept, could help make a lot of Indian households self-sufficient in their energy needs at least for most of the year
