Elon Musk's Tesla has long been rumoured to foray into India's electric vehicle (EV) market but has faced several hurdles related to localised factory investments, regulations, and high taxes....
Tesla plans to start selling imported electric vehicles in India by April 2025, with initial models sourced from its Berlin plant. The first showrooms are set to open in Delhi's Aerocity and Mumbai's BKC. The Model 3, priced around $40,000, will be among the offerings. Tesla is also hiring for India operations and aims to source over $1 billion in components locally. Recent customs duty reductions may have facilitated this move.
