Tesla Is Serious About Establishing Production in India; Jio In Talks

  • In an interview with Reuters, India’s deputy minister for technology confirms Tesla’s commitment to establishing a manufacturing facility (gigafactory) in India.
  • According to Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the talks between senior executives of Tesla and PMO’s representatives indicate that Tesla is thoroughly considering India as a potential production and innovation hub.
  • According to reports, Tesla has recently submitted a fresh proposal to the Indian government for establishing a new manufacturing facility in the country.
  • Previously, the plans were delayed due to a tax disagreement with the government and restrictions on importing vehicles manufactured in China.
  • This time, the Indian government has officially commented on the matter, providing its stance on the situation.
  • The proposed manufacturing facility is expected to produce both electric vehicles (EVs) and EV batteries.
  • Details such as the factory’s location, annual production capacity, and specific models to be manufactured have not been disclosed yet.
  • It remains uncertain whether Tesla plans to utilize this facility for exports as well.
