<p>It is a private unlisted company with an authorized capital of Rs 15,00,000 and a paid-up capital of Rs 1,00,000.</p>

<p>This announcement officially marks Tesla’s India entry in the state of Karnataka. It would be interesting to see if the company would set-up its manufacturing base in Karnataka, or will continue to keep up the suspense and be wooed away by some other state.</p>

<p>Twitter users in India couldn't contain their excitement and shared their views on Tesla's much-anticipated arrival in the country.</p>
