A Phased Manufacturing
Program ?
Economic Times ( 24 April ) carries following news :
Extract :
The
proposal provides for compulsory sourcing of minimum 50% domestic content for
electric vehicles in the first year, 60% in the second year and 70% in the
third year, a government official said.
Here is what I had proposed
in my following email to the Policy Makers , one year back :
Will TESLA
follow APPLE ?
Dear Elon :
For immediate approval ( in 24 hours ) , pl submit
your PMP as follows :
2017-18 :
Set up factory next to Mundra Port ( Gujarat ) to facilitate
world-wide exports
2018-19 :
Source locally , Tyres / Chasis /
Body / Electricals / Windows / Dashboards ..etc
2019-20 :
Manufacture in your own factory ,
Li-ion Battery / Wall-mounted Powerpack Storages /
Solar Roof Tiles
2020-21 :
Manufacture RFID Sensors - Cameras – GPS locators
2021-22 :
Augmented Reality Devices / Autonomous
Navigation Devices ( Radar – Lidar )
Now , it is very possible that
neither Shri Gadkariji ,
nor Shri Goyalji , would be
satisfied with such a slow PMP , spread out over a period of 5 years
They may , well request Elon to
cut it down to 3 years
And , if they do, I get a feeling
that Elon would telescope the entire PMP , in 2 YEARS !
Apparently , Emails take a few months to reach the
govt officers !
