What did Musk say
Musk recently tweeted that Tesla would not set up a manufacturing plant anywhere it would not previously be allowed to sell its cars. Musk wanted the Indian government to give a license to Tesla to import cars from China and that no import duty should be imposed on these cars. But the Indian government rejected his demand. A new generation of electric cars is also being developed in India. These vehicles can leave Tesla in the international market. The reason for this is that electric cars based on modern technology are being made in India, whereas Tesla’s technology is a decade old.
The technology of Tata Motors’ concept car Avinya is more advanced than Tesla. Similarly, Mahindra’s Born Again electric car competes with Tesla and its price is half the price of Tesla’s cars. There has also been progress in India in terms of battery production. Reliance Industries has bought UK company Faradion for 100 million pounds. It is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of sodium ion batteries.
