On February 19, The Economic Times of India announced that Tesla has embarked on a quest to acquire land in India, aiming to establish an electric vehicle manufacturing plant, with Maharashtra emerging as the top contender. Prior to this development, Tesla CEO Elon Musk met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the United States, where he garnered support for his endeavors. Additionally, Musk expressed his desire to see a reduction in tariffs on imported electric vehicles. Tesla's preference for Maharashtra stems from the fact that it already maintains an office in Pune, and the state boasts a robust network of existing suppliers. In response, the Maharashtra government has proposed sites near Chakan and Chikali, both of which are situated in close proximity to Pune, for Tesla's consideration.
