Tesla might not construct a factory in India, even with all the buzz and recent advances. Instead, it would market its electric vehicles via CBU (Completely Built Unit) channels and just open showrooms in big cities. The American electric car maker is not interested in producing in India, according to Union Minister for Heavy Industries HD Kumaraswamy. He did say, though, that Tesla is interested in establishing stores in the nation. This occurs as the Indian government has changed its electric vehicle policy in an effort to entice investment from significant foreign companies in the industry, such Tesla, and as the automaker has increased the speed of its operations in India by hiring for a number of positions.

As the Indian government works to encourage domestic production of passenger vehicles, particularly electric vehicles, news agency ANI has reported that Kumaraswamy made his comments. The minister is quoted as saying that Tesla is just interested in opening showrooms and has no intention of producing in India. "The real intent we'll know when we open the application," said Heavy Industry Secretary Kamran Rizvi, who continued to discuss the topic. He pointed out that Tesla has not yet released any formal statement.

In addition, the minister stated that several international auto firms, including Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Skoda, and Kia, have expressed interest in establishing production facilities in India under the government's new EV policy. In the past, Tesla was said to be interested in bringing its electric vehicles into India and then selling them via its Indian showrooms.

Although Musk, the head of Tesla, had previously expressed interest in investing in India, the high import duties were a source of friction between the business and the Indian government. Following the Indian government's introduction of its new EV policy, which lowered import taxes to 15% and offered a number of incentives for establishing a production facility in India, Tesla's desire to enter the Indian market grew.

Errol Musk, Elon Musk's father from Servotec, who is now in India, seemed enthusiastic about Tesla's entry into the nation. "That is something that I have to be careful not to say too much about. Tesla is a publicly traded corporation. With all due respect, when I hear that BYD and others are entering India and that Tatas and Mahindra are producing excellent automobiles, I'm really inclined to ask, wait, why aren't we having Teslas here? It's not ours...considering India and its people, the sort of people you have here, the energy, and everything else. However, I am unable to reveal much. He said, according to reports, "That's simply a personal opinion."

India releases regulations governing the production of electric vehicles within the country.

The Indian government released regulations for the Plan to Encourage Electric Passenger Car Manufacturing in India on Monday. With a particular emphasis on electric vehicles, the central government approved a forward-looking plan to support the local production of passenger automobiles.

The program is in line with India's national goals of lowering environmental effect, promoting sustainable mobility, boosting economic development, and meeting a net-zero target by 2070. The goal of the Indian government is to transform the nation into a top international hub for automotive production and innovation.

The plan will assist in bringing in investments from international EV producers and market India as a manufacturing hub for electric vehicles. The report also asserts that the plan will help India establish a position in the global market for electric vehicle production, create jobs, and fulfill the objective of "Make in India."
