Talking on tax relief: Let us tell you that Tesla is preparing to enter India's auto industry through its electric car. Earlier, Tesla CEO Elon Musk had demanded the Indian government to reduce import duties. Elon Musk had said that the import duty in India is very high. In this regard, Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said that he is still in talks with Tesla officials regarding the demand related to tax concessions.

 

Currently, India imposes an import duty of 100 percent with CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) on a fully imported car valued above $40,000. Import duty on cars costing less than this is levied at the rate of 60 percent. Most cars sold in the country cost less than $20,000. In this also the sales of electric vehicles in India are marginal. Let us tell you here that India is the fifth largest car market in the world with annual sales of around 3 million vehicles.
