Even if Tesla comes, it will not compete with Indian companies..!?
The electric vehicle sales market in india is currently heating up. While indian automobile manufacturers are already competing and introducing electric vehicles, foreign companies including tesla are also entering the indian market. However, a brokerage firm named anand rathi has released a forecast that foreign companies will not be able to compete with indian companies so easily. Elon Musk’s tesla is going to launch its electric car in india very soon. First, Tesla’s affordable car, Tesla’s Model 3, is likely to be sold in the indian market. When we calculate everything including import duty and road tax in india, the price of Tesla’s Model 3 is expected to be up to 40 lakh rupees.
People will not buy an electric car so easily at such a price in India. So for now, it is said that tesla will not have a big impact on companies selling electric cars in India. China's BYD has already started selling its electric cars in India. However, it has not been able to compete with indian companies. Being a Chinese company, BYD cannot invest in india that easily, so it has to import and sell vehicles. This is a big problem in reducing the price of the company's vehicles.
Meanwhile, mahindra & mahindra CEO Rajesh says that foreign companies can certainly come to india and introduce their new vehicles, but they cannot sell vehicles at the prices we sell in India. He also mentioned that companies in india are manufacturing electric vehicles of international standards with skilled engineers. Manufacturing in india, being a brand that is already popular with the people, and government policies are all in favor of domestic automobile manufacturers.
