Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently underscored India's pivotal role in its global strategy, marking it as an essential next phase in its expansion.
With India's burgeoning population and growing emphasis on sustainable transportation, Musk's statement highlights the country's readiness to embrace electric vehicles (EVs), aligning with local governmental efforts to secure a Tesla manufacturing base.
This development promises significant economic and environmental benefits, further solidifying India's position in the electric mobility domain.
Elon Musk Envisions Tesla's Electric Future in India Amid Growing Popularity and State Incentives
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has provided an optimistic update on the electric vehicle manufacturer's plans for India. According to Musk, India is a logical next step for Tesla, especially given that the country has grown to be the world's most populous.
“India is now the most populous country in the world, based on population. India should have electric cars just like every other country has electric cars. It’s a natural progression to provide Tesla electric vehicles in India,” Musk said in a recent X Spaces session with Nicolai Tangen, the Chief Executive Officer at Norges Bank Investment Management.
According to recent reports, the state governments of Maharashtra and Gujarat in India are making extra efforts to attract electric vehicle maker Tesla. These efforts reportedly take the form of extended lucrative land offers for the EV manufacturer, where the company could potentially build its domestic manufacturing facility.
Tesla's Ambitious Expansion: A New Gigafactory to Electrify India's EV Landscape
Economic Times reported that Tesla's proposed plant is expected to cost between $2 billion and $3 billion. The potential Tesla facility is expected to serve domestic and international markets.
Tesla would be an excellent addition to India's emerging EV sector as the country seeks to position itself as an ideal location for leading electric vehicle manufacturers. This was highlighted by India's new EV policy, which significantly benefits companies willing to invest heavily in the country.
According to recent reports, Tesla may soon expand into India. Earlier this month, Reuters reported that Tesla's Gigafactory Berlin produces right-hand drive (RHD) Model Y crossovers for India.
People familiar with the matter know that Giga Berlin plans to export vehicles to India later this year. "The right-hand drive (Tesla) vehicles will be allocated to India. "(Giga Berlin has) begun building them," according to Reuters sources.
