Indian Commerce Minister, Piyush Goyal, is set to meet with Tesla’s Chief Executive Officer, Elon Musk, in the United States next week to advance the U.S. carmaker’s plans to enter the South Asian market. This high-profile meeting follows Musk’s meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in June, during which he expressed his interest in making significant investments in India.

 

The discussions between Musk and Goyal will primarily focus on Tesla’s intentions to establish a factory in India. This factory would be responsible for manufacturing a $24,000 car, sourcing additional components locally, and expanding the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across the nation. Additionally, the two sides will likely explore a new policy that India is developing to reduce import taxes on fully built EVs to 15%, down from the current rates that can be as high as 100%. To benefit from the reduced tax rate, automakers will be required to commit to some level of local manufacturing.

The meeting aims to ensure that ongoing discussions between India and Tesla are progressing in the right direction, reflecting the nation’s enthusiasm for the entry of the electric car manufacturer into its market.

 

While the commerce ministry of India and Tesla have not provided official comments, the meeting signifies the evolving and constructive dialogue between the two parties. Tesla’s interest in India has been ongoing for several months, with the company expressing its willingness to establish a local factory while also advocating for lower import taxes on select high-end vehicles.

 

Furthermore, India’s government recently held discussions involving various ministries to expedite the formulation of a new EV policy. The potential policy will offer reduced import taxes for fully built EVs, creating a favorable environment for international automakers. However, local car manufacturers have voiced concerns that lower import taxes could disrupt the Indian EV market and impact their own strategic plans.

 

This meeting between the Indian Commerce Minister and Tesla’s Elon Musk is a significant step towards the U.S. carmaker’s entry into the Indian market, reflecting India’s openness to fostering cooperation with Tesla and facilitating the growth of the EV sector in the country.
