Tesla has been eyeing to enter the Indian market for the last few years. Previously, the company restricted its interest due to the high import duties in the Indian market on foreign-made cars. For your information, the taxes on imported cars can go up to 110%.

In order to woo more global players in the EV segment, the Indian government has reduced the customs duty from 110% to 70% on all the cars that are valued above $40,000. And with this, we can get to see a sudden surge in the Indian EV market with new players coming in. And it will also contribute in achieving the country’s commitment to take their carbon to zero by 2070.
