In a recent interview, United States President Trump expressed his dissatisfaction, stating that it would be "unfair" to the United States if Tesla were to establish a factory in India as a means to circumvent high tariffs. This comes on the heels of a previous visit by Indian Prime Minister Modi to the United States, during which Trump had criticized India's steep automotive tariffs. However, both leaders agreed to strive towards a trade agreement aimed at resolving these tariff-related disputes. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been a vocal critic of India's high tariffs on electric vehicles, and last year, India introduced a new policy pledging to substantially reduce import taxes for automakers investing in local production facilities. Currently, Tesla does not manufacture vehicles in India, but there have been reports suggesting that the company has identified two locations for showrooms and has posted job advertisements in the country.
