Tesla In India / Is Tesla coming to India? Job openings for India on Linkedin

Tesla In India: The impact of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent US visit and his meeting with Tesla CEO Elon Musk is now clearly visible. Tesla has started hiring in India, indicating that new opportunities are opening up for the electric vehicle (EV) industry in India.

Tesla starts hiring in India

US electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla has started recruitment for 13 positions in India, including roles such as service consultant, parts consultant, service technician, service manager, sales and customer support, store manager, customer support supervisor, distribution operations specialist, order operations specialist, internal sales consultant and consumer engagement manager. These recruitments are being done for the Mumbai suburban area, giving a clear indication that Tesla is preparing to make its presence felt in the Indian market soon.

Preparations were going on for years

The Indian government had been trying to attract Tesla for the past several years, but Tesla was hesitant to set up its units in India due to high import duties and taxes. Now that Donald Trump is the US President and in view of his tariff war, India has changed its trade policy, encouraging companies like Tesla to invest in India. Under the recently announced EV policy, the government is ready to give concessions in import duty to companies investing more than $500 million.

Modi-Musk meeting and Tesla's entry into India

The start of Tesla's hiring in India after the meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Elon Musk shows that the two sides have reached an agreement on taxes and tariffs. Despite the Trump administration calling India a "tariff king", it now appears that India has changed its policies to make it easier for global companies to do business.

Impact on US-India trade relations

Tesla's entry into India will not only affect India-US trade relations, but may also change the view of Europe and other countries about India. If Tesla successfully enters the Indian market, other global EV manufacturers may also come forward to invest in India.

Impact on China

Tesla's entry into India may impact China's position. First Apple and now Tesla, big brands are turning to India, indicating that India is gradually emerging as an alternative to China. Many Indian states, such as Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Telangana, have come up with various schemes to attract Tesla. If Tesla sets up its manufacturing unit in India, it could be a big blow to China.

Investment prospects

Speculations about Elon Musk's visit to India were being made for about one and a half years, and then it was estimated that Tesla could invest $3 to $5 billion (Rs 25,000 to Rs 40,000 crore) in India. But now that the circumstances are changing, this investment can reach Rs 65,000 to Rs 80,000 crore.

Conclusion

The direct impact of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's US visit and his meeting with Elon Musk is now visible on Indian business. Tesla's entry into India will not only boost the EV sector but will also help establish India as a major manufacturing hub. This trend of investment in India away from China may get stronger in the coming years, taking India to new heights on the global business map.
