Tesla in India TOP 10-point guide for this big story
Tesla in India: Elon Musk Says No Manufacturing Plant Where Sale, Service Not Allowed. Full Details Here
Union Ministers, especially Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari, have been asking Musk for a while to come and manufacture electric cars in India.
Here’s your 10-point guide for this big story:
- From Telangana Minister for Industries, KT Rama Rao, to Maharashtra Minister and state NCP President Jayant Patil, several Indian leaders have made repeated appeals to Musk to bring Tesla to India but to no avail.
- During the ‘Raisina Dialogue 2022’ last month, Gadkari said that if Musk wants to manufacture in China and sell Tesla cars here, “it cannot be a good proposition for India”.
- Earlier in February, Gadkari had said that Musk has to manufacture in India first in order to roll out Tesla cars on the roads.
- Musk had tweeted that he faced challenges from the government for releasing its products in India. “Tesla isn’t in India yet due to “Challenges with the government,” he posted.
- Currently, India levies 100 per cent tax on the imported cars of price more than $40,000 (Rs 30 lakhs), inclusive of insurance and shipping expenses, and cars less than $40,000 are subject to 60 per cent import tax.
- Musk has said that he wants to launch cars in India but the country’s import duties on EVs are “highest in the world by far”.
- Meanwhile, SpaceX satellite internet service Starlink is available in 32 countries, up from 25 countries reported earlier this year.
- In India, the government had told Starlink to stop “booking/rendering the satellite internet service” in the country without a licence.
- Sanjay Bhargava, India Director for Starlink, stepped down earlier this year amid the government pressure.
- The Elon Musk-owned company also informed some individuals in the country that it will refund their pre-orders.
