NEW DELHI, Sept 13 (Reuters) - India will come up with new policy to attract electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers and encourage greater investment in the sector, the commerce minister said on Wednesday.

Piyush Goyal's comments come as U.S. EV maker Tesla (TSLA.O) continues talks with Narendra Modi's administration on the possibility of building a factory in India.

Reuters last month reported that India was working on EV policy that would cut import taxes for automakers that committed to some local manufacturing, citing sources with direct knowledge of the matter.
