Tesla Resumes talks for Indian showroom
Tesla has resumed the search for a suitable location for a showroom in New Delhi again. According to insider sources, this is the first indication that the electric car giant is re-examining its plans for the Indian market. This comes after the original plans were put on hold earlier this year.
New talks with DLF and other developers
Tesla is in early discussions with DLF, India's largest real estate developer, to secure a site in the capital region.
- Showroom size: 3,000-5,000 square feet for a experience center.
- Service and delivery: In addition, three times as much space is required for logistics and service purposes.
- Possible locations: DLF Avenue Mall in south Delhi or the Cyber Hub complex in Gurugram.
According to another source, other developers are also in negotiations with Tesla. No final deal has yet been concluded.
India's EV market and challenges for Tesla
India presents Tesla due to its market conditions both a both an opportunity and a challenge challenge:
- High import taxes: Currently, the tax on imported vehicles is up to 100 %which makes Tesla's prices unattractive for the Indian market.
- New government plans: However, India is considering reducing import taxes on certain electric vehicles to 15 % reduce import taxes on certain electric vehicles in order to Tesla, Hyundai and Toyota.
- Growth potential: The market for electric vehicles is only 2 % of the 4 million cars sold each year. However, the government is aiming to increase this share to 30 % by 2030.

However, it remains to be seen whether this will be done by importing vehicles or investing in local production. One thing is certain: India could become a crucial market for Tesla's global growth strategy.
