Errol arrived in India on June 1, 2025 and is set to depart for South Africa on June 6, 2025, reports Mint.
On the security amid Errol's visit, a police officer said that there is already a three-layered high-level security cover in place in Ayodhya, which includes round-the-clock deployment of high-tech anti-drone systems capable of detecting and neutralising unauthorised aerial activity. He added that security arrangements in and around the temple area include CCTV surveillance, regular checking of visitors, and deployment of specially trained personnel. However, no additional security cover will be extended officially for this visit, as the existing measures are adequate, he said as quoted by news agency PTI.
Errol's Visit To India
The highlight of his visit includes a pilgrimage to the revered Ram Janmabhoomi Ayodhya Ram Mandir, where he will “seek blessings from Shree Ram Lalla,” as per sources cited by PTI. This symbolic stop reflects what sources describe as his deeper “engagement with India’s cultural and spiritual heritage.”
Errol was recently inducted into the global advisory board of Servotech Power Systems, an Indian company working in solar energy and EV charging solutions. His presence at this event is being seen as a significant vote of confidence in India's clean tech ecosystem. According to PTI, Musk will offer “strategic guidance to Servotech’s leadership team” as part of his new advisory role.
Musk’s visit comes at a time when India is aggressively pushing to position itself as a global hub for renewable energy and electric mobility.
