Tesla and India

Tesla and India have had an on-and-off relationship for years. While Tesla has a presence in the South Asian nation, it has largely stayed off the market due to high import duties. For years, India and Tesla have been at an impasse over the high import taxes that Tesla CEO Musk has pointed out were a deterrent.

India previously had a 110 per cent basic customs duty on high-end cars priced above $40,000 (around ₹34.7 lakh). Now, this has been reduced to 70 per cent.

With India, the world's third-biggest greenhouse gas emitter seeking to decarbonise and turn net-zero by 2070, and its increasingly affluent shoppers, the nation is a promising market for EV maker Tesla.
