One of the world’s largest electric car makers and a pioneer in electric car technology across the world, Tesla Motors, will arrive in India next year.
Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, had visited the Tesla plant in 2015 and during this visit, Musk shared with Modi the big developments being done by Tesla and its intent to enter India. Tesla attempted a foray into India in 2017, but the plan was put on the backburner as the company felt the policy environment was proving to be a hindrance for local production.
In 2017, the then power minister, Piyush Goyal, presented an audacious vision that India was aspiring for 100 per cent EV sales by 2030. India later scaled down its ambition by announcing a more realistic target of turning 30 per cent of conventional car ownership electric by 2030.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.

Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
