 Congratulations ,

 Dear Sirs,

 

I wish you all success in bringing Tesla to Maharashra

 

As far as those “  Special Incentives “ are concerned , you may want to look up :

 

 Fastest Finger First ?  …………………………………….[ 07 Oct 2020 ]

 

ARA & M Ltd ?............................................[ 02 Oct 2020 ]

 

Of course, many other States will try to woo Tesla with their own packages of “ Special Incentives


But you can try one thing which will convince Rohan Patel that you are sincere / you mean business ( Americans want you to “  Walk your Talk “ )


Immediately nominate ( re-designate ) a Senior Secretary from the Industries Ministry :

SECRETARY – TESLA PROJECT

( exactly what convinced Elon Musk to set up factory in China , last year )


His mandate ?

Not go home till Tesla starts production in Maharashtra !

( exactly what Mukesh Ambani would do if he had this mandate )


There is no better way to convince Tesla re your “ Honesty of Purpose

Other states are bound to come up with their own versions of “ Secretary – Handholding ( Tesla )

 

With regards,
