Tesla had previously not entered the Indian market due to high import duties on electric vehicles. However, after reducing the primary customs duty on cars costing more than 40,000 US dollars from 110% to 70%, Tesla is now ready to enter the Indian market. India has set a goal to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2070, and as part of this, it reduced customs duties. With the increasing demand for electric cars in India, all companies are focusing on the Indian market. The Indian government has also reduced import duties on EVs for manufacturers investing at least 41.5 billion rupees (500 million dollars) in domestic manufacturing. This is another reason why Tesla is entering the Indian market. Elon Musk was expected to visit India in April 2024 for investments and business operations. However, due to employee layoffs and car recalls in Tesla, Musk's visit was postponed.
