Last year, Musk even canceled a scheduled visit to India at the last moment.However, the Indian government's recent decision to reduce the basic customs duty on luxury EVs priced above USD 40,000 from 110 percent to 70 percent appears to have cleared a major hurdle for Tesla's entry.Although Tesla has not yet made an official announcement, its hiring activity strongly indicates plans to launch operations in India. It remains uncertain whether the company will start by importing vehicles or set up a local manufacturing facility.Nevertheless, with recruitment already in progress, Tesla's long-awaited entry into India appears to be just around the corner.
