Tesla’s entry in India! The first showroom will open in Mumbai’s BKC today, the initiative to test the market
Tesla, a US veteran electric car maker, is going to officially enter India on Tuesday. Under this, the company is going to open its first showroom in India in Mumbai. The showroom is opening at Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). According to ANI news, earlier, Tesla posted a teaser through a handle on Friday, which was written- coming soon- coming soon …, as well as a graphic that showed that Tesla’s presence in India would start from July 2025 this month, July 2025.
At the moment only interested in opening the showroom
According to the news, however, there is a lot of speculation about Tesla’s plans for India, Union Heavy Industries Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy had clarified in June that Tesla is currently not interested in making cars in India. Kumaraswamy had said during a conversation with the media that he wanted to sell his car in India. There is no further progress about Tesla. He confirmed that Tesla is currently interested in opening the showroom in India.
Started its recruitment process in India
It was reported earlier that Tesla is willing to sell its vehicles in the country and sell them through its showroom, rather than set up. However, the company has not yet given any information about its detailed operating strategy for India. Taking an important step earlier this year, Tesla began its recruitment process in India, indicating that the company’s preparations for entry into the domestic market are intensifying.
High import duty is a major obstacle
Tesla CEO Allen Musk had earlier expressed interest in investing in India, but he also stated that high import duty is a major obstacle. By the way, the recently announced India’s new EV policy offered low import duty and additional encouragement to attract foreign EV companies, which could pave the way for Tesla’s entry. In April last, Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with Alan Musk on telephone and discussed opportunities for cooperation in technology and innovation. PM Modi also met Musk during his visit to the United States in February.
