India Prime Minister Narenda Modi has recently been promoting electric vehicles (EVs) and other methods of cutting down on the country’s reliance on oil and creation of pollution. Tesla’s presence in the country will help contribute greatly to those goals, especially given its high demand around the world as of late.
The government in India also plans to put forth $4.6 billion as business incentives to set up battery manufacturing facilities in the country, according to a recent proposal.
At the moment, Tesla’s India team has three directors, one of which is Senior Executive David Feinstein, according to his LinkedIn page.
