American EV giant Tesla has been eagerly waiting to launch its electric vehicles in the Indian market. The company has been in constant talks with Indian authorities regarding the launch, and we have already seen Tesla cars being tested on Indian roads. Now, a Tesla Model 3 was recently spotted at the office of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH).
For those unaware, after Tesla confirmed to enter the Indian market, CEO Elon Musk complained about the high import duties on electric cars in India. Following this, reports suggested that India was planning to reduce the import duties on EVs from 100% to 60%. However, as per recent reports, the Indian authorities have now turned down the plan and want Tesla to set up a manufacturing unit in the country. We currently do not know how Tesla reacted to this request.
