Tesla is close to starting sales of its electric vehicles in India, with plans to open its first showroom in Mumbai and begin deliveries as early as August.
After Bloomberg's report, Tesla created an account for its Indian operation on CEO Elon Musk's X platform with an illustration of Mumbai skyline captioned 'Coming soon.'
Tesla has been expanding into new markets due to saturation in existing ones; it recently entered the Saudi Arabian market.
Challenges in India for Tesla include a 70% import duty on vehicles and the need to export already-built cars, despite previously considering building a factory in the country.
