A Call to Innovation-
In the land where rivers weave 🌊 and dreams take flight ✈️,
Piyush calls to Tesla, beneath the starlit night 🌃.
Come, build your dreams on our vibrant shore ,
With options aplenty, let your engines roar 🚗.
Two paths await, like branches of a tree,
One of subsidies, the other, duty-free.
