Titanium Media App reported on May 28 that in recent years, Tesla has been eager to import and sell its electric vehicles in India. The company’s CEO Elon Musk said that India has imposed almost the highest tariffs on electric vehicles in the world. Tesla Ra has been lobbying in New Delhi for nearly a year, hoping the country will lower the tariffs. But Tesla's efforts appear to have stalled, as the company has yet to announce concrete plans to invest in India, which is inconsistent with the Prime Minister's "Make in India" vision to boost local manufacturing and create more jobs . Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Friday that it won't set up a manufacturing plant in India until it is licensed to sell and service cars in the country, TechCrunch reported. Embarrassingly, more than a year ago an Indian state said they planned to open a factory in the south of the country. To a Twitter request for an update on Tesla's manufacturing plant in India, Musk responded: "Tesla won't set up a factory anywhere that doesn't allow us to sell and service cars." (Source: IT Family)
