Working on challenges with govt: Musk updates India Tesla launch

| @indiablooms | Jan 13, 2022, at 10:11 pm

Austin (Texas)/UNI: Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk has said his company is working through a lot of challenges with the Indian government to launch its cars.

When a Twitter user asked Musk about the much anticipated launch the CEO replied: "“Still working through a lot of challenges with the government.”

Indian testing agencies approved Tesla's four models in August last year.

The company has requested the government to lower the import duties which according to Musk is among the highest in the world.

India charges a 100 per cent import duty on electric cars that cost more than $40,000 and 60 per cent on the rest.
