India is working on a new electric car policy to cut import taxes to as low as 15 per cent, compared with 100 per cent for cars priced above $40000 and 70 per cent for the rest, Reuters reported in August.

Indian media ET reported citing unnamed sources that Tesla is willing to invest up to $500m if the government approves a tariff reduction on 12000 vehicles and up to $2 billion if it approves a tariff reduction on 30000 vehicles.
