Tesla in India: Last month, India reduced the import duty on electric cars of companies that invest at least $ 500 million in the country and commit to domestic manufacturing within three years. Tesla founder Elon Musk has been trying to enter the Indian market for years but the government wants a commitment from him for local manufacturing.

Tesla, an electric vehicle manufacturer, has begun producing vehicles at its Germany-based facility for export to India. By year's end, these vehicles with right-hand drive will be shipped to India. Which model Tesla will ship to India is still unknown. The company's Berlin plant currently only produces the Model Y.

Three people familiar with the development said the company's move will help implement its plan to enter the world's third-largest car market. Let us tell you that America's electric car manufacturer Tesla will send a team to India at the end of this month to find a suitable location for its plant in India.

The company has taken this step at a time when the demand for electric vehicles is slowing down and the company is facing intense competition in big markets like America and China. Due to a lack of demand, the company has recorded a decline in sales in the first quarter. An investment of two to three billion dollars is likely to be made in this plant. Under the new policy, the company will be able to import eight thousand cars at low import duty.

India lowered import taxes on electric vehicles from businesses that commit to three years of in-country manufacturing and invested at least $500 million last month. Elon Musk, the creator of Tesla, has been attempting to join the Indian market for years, but the government requires him to pledge to support local production.

Musk met Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his June visit to the United States of America last year. The business had declared in July of last year that it was considering constructing an EV manufacturing facility in India to manufacture vehicles that would cost $24,000.
