While addressing the Raisina Dialogue 2021 organised by the Ministry of External Affairs, Gadkari assured that the Indian government would help the EV maker create industrial clusters in the country.

Gadkari also assured that Tesla could develop its own vendors and export vehicles to other countries as well.

However, Tesla has not confirmed when it will start its EV production facilities in India. Currently, Tesla is only looking at selling its vehicles in major Indian cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru and Delhi.

This year, Tesla had registered its Indian arm, Tesla India Motors and Energy Private Ltd, with RoC Bangalore. Once Tesla begins production in India, it would be its second facility in Asia outside China and will be a major boost for EV manufacturing in India.
