Tesla Wants India To Lower The Tax
Tesla wants India to lower the tax. Musk voiced the issue on Twitter.
Elon Musk, CEO of electric vehicle manufacturer
Tesla, said that if the company is successful in the cars it will sell in India, there is a high probability that they will establish a factory in the country. On the other hand, it was stated that Musk requested the Indian government to reduce the tax rate on imported electric cars.
Elon Musk said on Twitter that if Tesla Inc is successful in the cars it will sell in India, it is possible to establish a factory in the country.
Tesla asked the Indian government to reduce tax rates for imported electric vehicles, Reuters news agency reported, citing two sources with knowledge of the matter.
In response to a question on Twitter about the launch of Tesla's cars in India,
Musk said that the company was keen on this. He said, “But we are hopeful that there will be at least a temporary reduction in tariffs for electric vehicles.”
It is said that the government may reject Tesla's request because Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi insists on high tax rates on imported products to increase local production.
