In 2016, Tesla opened preorders for its Model 3 in India. However, due to concerns about taxes and building a factory in the country, Tesla has yet to deliver cars in India. Other automakers have since launched their own electric vehicles (EVs) in India, and the EV market has evolved significantly. Tesla's position has also changed, with slowing sales and the need for more affordable cars. India's domestic auto market is dominated by Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, and Tata Motors, and EV sales still represent a small portion of total car sales. To succeed in India, Tesla would need to build affordable EVs in the country and establish a robust charging network.
