In regard to Tesla's entry in India, the company is currently negotiating tax cuts with the government of India on fully imported electric vehicles. Tesla, however, does not intend to qualify for any additional tax exemptions. Instead, the government says it should locally assemble its vehicles in India, as is the norm in the country. As of now, it appears Tesla cars won't arrive on Indian shores until sometime in the future.
