Musk had said that the company’s CFO is from India and that they will penetrate the Indian market as soon as he approves that it is the right time to do so.
Tesla has already made an attempt to come to India in 2017 but the deal could not close due to some misunderstanding between the Indian government and Tesla. Musk had later said that the regulations in India are very challenging
The partial plan of penetrating the Indian market involves bringing and selling the Tesla cars in the country and selling it as CBU. The company will take up from here for further expansion.
The Government of India has also made statements related to switching to electrical vehicles in order to save the natural resources and reduce pollution and the entry of Tesla will definitely work in the right direction for the government as well.
