Elon Musk's Tesla to enter India soon? Centre's new policy may benefit EV maker

Hindustan Times  

Months after expressing interest in entering the Indian market, billionaire Elon Musk-led Tesla may be making its way to the country as the central government is in the process to finalise its policy to extend concessional import duty, reported The Economic Times. Tesla founder Elon Musk with Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tesla is now on the verge of entering the Indian market as the government is planning to extend its concessional import duty on electric cars exceeding ₹30 lakh for 2-3 years, reported ET. Further, the reduction of import duties may be done in lieu of Tesla getting bank guarantees for constructing an EV manufacturing plant in India, the ET report said citing sources. Elon Musk's electric carmaker Tesla, however, said that it will enter the Indian EV market and invest up to $2 billion in the country if the Centre cuts down the import duty to 15 percent for vehicles for the first two years of operations.
