Elon Musk’s car company, Tesla, is excited to open two new showrooms in India. One showroom will be in New Delhi near the airport, and the other will be in Mumbai’s busy Bandra Kurla Complex. This move comes after Tesla had paused its plans to enter the Indian market last year.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently met with Elon Musk in the United States to talk about electric cars, technology, and even space!
The showrooms will each be about 5,000 square feet in size. However, Tesla plans to sell imported electric vehicles (EVs) and these showrooms will not have service centers. They are still deciding when to open the new showrooms.
Tesla is also looking to hire new staff in India for different positions, such as store and customer relationship managers. Elon Musk has expressed his concerns about India’s high taxes on electric cars, which are around 100%. Local car makers worry that Tesla’s entry could affect their business. Last week, during a meeting in Washington, President Trump also pointed out India’s high car taxes but agreed with PM Modi to work on a trade deal.
