Tesla is not coming to Telugu states. There was a talk that Elon Musk might set up units in AP or Telangana.
Now the latest is that it is going to Karnataka. Even KIA is moving out of Andhra Pradesh it is reported. KIA Motors had a tiff with the local lawmaker and they are moving out of Anantapur it is reported.
Now the U.S.-based electric car giant Tesla would set up its manufacturing unit in Karnataka, Chief Minister of the state BS Yediyurappa said on Saturday. “American firm Tesla will set up the car-manufacturing unit in Karnataka,” the Chief Minister said, according to a agency report.
Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk had confirmed the electric car company’s debut in India . India may be a difficult market for Musk to crack.
Although India is Asia’s third-biggest economy and home to a budding middle class, it hasn’t rolled out the welcome mat for EVs, unlike neighbor China, where Tesla set up its first factory outside of the U.S. and now dominates electric-car sales. EVs account for about 5% of China’s annual car sales, according to Bloomberg.
