For quite a long time, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been postponing its arrival in India. But as the Indians believed, ‘agley saal pakka’. Well, finally Tesla has arrived in India.
According to The Times Of India, it registered a company named Tesla India Motors and Energy Private Limited to an address in Lavelle Road, Bengaluru.

Having said that, Tesla is also in touch with other state governments like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh to start its operations. After such a grand entry into the Indian Automotive market, we really hope something great unfolds from this US giant.
