Tesla is renting a place for a warehouse in Karnataka in South, India. Apart from this, the company is also planning to lease a place in Gurugram outside New Delhi. Apart from this, Tesla officials from other countries are also visiting the showrooms of Mumbai and New Delhi.
Tesla will take advantage of government’s EV policy
The Government of India has recently created a new policy for electric vehicles (EV), in which foreign companies can get the benefit of low import duty (15%), provided they invest $ 500 million, or Rs 4,327 crore in India and start local production in three years. Tesla is preparing to take advantage of this policy.
The company will sell only imported cars in India right now
However, Tesla has not yet decided to set up its factory in India. Some time ago it was reported that Tesla is considering setting up factory in states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Telangana, but currently the company is focusing on selling only imported cars in India.
Tesla will have competition from Tata and Mahindra
The market of electric cars in India is still small, in 2023, only 2% of cars were electric. But the government targets that 30% new cars should be electric by 2030. Desi companies like Tata Motors and Mahindra are already present in this market and now the arrival of Tesla will increase the competition.
Tesla’s cars are known for their brilliant design, high-tech features and over-the-air software updates. The company has already started recruiting people for sales, service and delivery in India. Tesla’s arrival in India will not only promote electric cars, but it will also provide new technology and better options to Indian customers.
