Tesla, led by Elon Musk, is not interested in manufacturing in India according to Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy.
They are looking to start operations through showrooms rather than setting up manufacturing facilities.
The government aims to attract companies like Mercedes Benz, Hyundai, Kia, and Volkswagen for manufacturing in India under the 'Scheme to Promote Manufacturing of Electric Passenger Cars'.
The scheme allows global manufacturers to import electric four-wheelers at a reduced customs duty of 15% if they commit to invest INR 4,150 Cr in India.
