As per the reports on CNBCTV18, Tesla’s China-based factory may work as the primary sourcing point initially. Later, after a considerable demand, it may start assembling vehicles in India.
In November last year, replying to a Twitter user who asked about the progress of the company’s India plans, Tesla CEO Elon Musk had said, “Yea..Next year for sure”.
Musk had, however, in the past too tweeted about Tesla’s entry into India.
In 2018, Musk had cited the country’s challenging regulatory environment as among the reasons for not foraying into India.
Earlier, the Maharashtra government had said it is looking for potential investment from Tesla in the state and held discussions with the company.
The western state is already home to a host of domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers, with the Chakan industrial belt near Pune being a major automobile hub.
