DPIIT secretary admitted that the reasons behind Tesla’s delay remain unclear. "You really have to ask the Tesla representatives as to what they're waiting for. We really don't know; we don't have much of an update on that," Singh said.
The specific reason for the Tesla representative's dismissal remains undisclosed. The circumstances leading to this decision are not publicly available. Tesla's entry into the Indian market continues to be a topic of interest, and the company's internal dynamics may play a role in shaping their strategy.
Interestingly, Singh emphasized that India's EV policy framework aims to create a level playing field for all companies entering the market, drawing parallels with successful strategies in other sectors. Despite the absence of a Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, Singh expressed confidence in attracting investment to India's EV sector through import policies and tariff measures. It seems the ball is now in Tesla's court to address internal and external factors influencing their plans.
Singh emphasized that India's EV policy aims to create a level playing field for all global companies interested in entering the market. The goal is to foster a competitive and inclusive environment for players in the EV sector.
Despite high expectations, Tesla's progress in India has stalled. Singh candidly stated that the reasons behind Tesla's delay remain unclear. He encouraged asking Tesla representatives directly for updates.
Drawing parallels with other sectors, Singh highlighted successful negotiations with global tire manufacturers. Relaxing restrictions led to significant foreign investment, even without a Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme.
While Tesla's entry remains uncertain, India's commitment to EV adoption and investment opportunities remains steadfast.
