When will Tesla Come to India?

Musk says the government’s policies for giving up on his India dreams. He also states the FDI norms for the delay in the electric car maker’s entry into the Indian market. But, Musk has now said that current import rules in India prevent it to enter the country. “Tesla is able to pay in parts for the local factories by selling their cars there ahead of time. This also helps them get a sense of demand for their cars in the country. However, in India, the current import rules prevent that,” Musk said. “But here’s a little light at the end of the tunnel. Musk believes that the recent changes in sales taxes in India may be helpful in the future,” he added.
