Elon Musk’s Tesla Likely To Set Up Its First India Manufacturing Plant In Gujarat

Tesla, the prominent electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing giant, is poised to make its mark in India with the establishment of a manufacturing plant in Gujarat next year, according to reports from various media outlets.

Negotiations between Tesla and Indian authorities for the setup of its inaugural manufacturing unit in the country are reaching their final stages, with a conclusion expected soon.

A report from Ahmedabad Mirror suggests that the formal announcement regarding Tesla's manufacturing unit in the state is likely to be made during the upcoming Vibrant Gujarat Summit scheduled for the next month.

Gujarat, already housing manufacturing units of renowned automakers such as Maruti Suzuki, is speculated to offer potential locations for Tesla's manufacturing plant, including Sanand, Becharaji, and Dholera.

Despite the buzz surrounding this development, neither Tesla nor the state government has made an official announcement on the matter.

During a recent Cabinet briefing, Gujarat Health Minister Rushikesh Patel expressed optimism about the prospect of Elon Musk's investment in Gujarat. He underscored the state's awareness and alignment with Tesla's overarching goals, drawing parallels during the address.

As the negotiations progress, the anticipation builds for Tesla's entry into the Indian market, bringing its cutting-edge electric vehicles to a country that is increasingly focusing on sustainable and eco-friendly transportation solutions. The upcoming Vibrant Gujarat Summit may serve as the platform for the formal unveiling of this significant collaboration between Tesla and the state of Gujarat.
