Tesla India Motors and Energy Private Limited

Tesla has marked its entry in India and registered itself as a company in Bengaluru.

Accordingto a Registrar of Companies filing, the new entity ‘Tesla India Motors and Energy Private Limited’ is classified as a subsidiary of a foreign company. It has also registered its office in Lavelle Road, a business district in the southern city, with paid-up capital of ₹1 lakh and an authorised capital of ₹15 lakh, according to the filing.

Tesla is considered one of the most aspirational brands across the globe and the formation of its subsidiary is quite significant for India’s economy and its nascent EV industry. This can be an inflection point for electric mobility in India and might convince many prospective customers to consider buying an EV in the future. Also, an investment from Tesla might convince other leading vehicle manufacturers and their component suppliers to invest in India for development of EV and related parts,” said Puneet Gupta, director, IHS Markit, a data analytics firm.

Tesla’s likely entry into India comes at a time when the union and state governments have been encouraging higher adoption of green vehicle technologies to help bring down the carbon footprint.
