Tesla can benefit by manufacturing EVs in India: Gadkari
The Hindu
Last year, the heavy industries ministry had also asked Tesla to first start manufacturing its iconic electric vehicles in India before any tax concessions can be considered
Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on May 2 said that if the U.S.-based electric vehicle (EV) maker Tesla manufactures its electric vehicles in India then the company will also get benefits.
Addressing an event, Mr. Gadkari said days are not very far when the prices of all electric vehicles will be less than the cost of petrol vehicles in the country.
“Agar Tesla India me electric car manufacture karega toh unka bhi fayda hoga [If Tesla manufactures its electric vehicles in India then they will also get benefits],” he said.
Earlier on April 26, Mr. Gadkari had said, if Tesla is ready to manufacture its EVs in India then there is ‘no problem’, but the company must not import cars from China.
“If Elon Musk [Tesla CEO] is ready to manufacture in India then there is no problem. Come to India, start manufacturing, India is a large market, they can export from India,” he had said at an interactive session at the Raisina Dialogue.
Last year, the Heavy Industries Ministry had also asked Tesla to first start manufacturing its iconic electric vehicles in India before any tax concessions can be considered.
