Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is making strides towards entering India, the world’s third-largest auto market, by hiring senior staff in Mumbai, as seen in job listings posted this week. This move follows CEO Elon Musk’s recent meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Washington, where they discussed technology, mobility, and innovation.
The electric vehicle giant has long eyed India for market expansion and local manufacturing but previously put plans on hold, leading to key staff departures. However, Tesla resumed its India efforts in late 2023, actively seeking showroom spaces in Mumbai and New Delhi.
Tesla’s latest job postings include roles such as store manager, delivery operations, and customer support specialists, indicating plans to open a Mumbai showroom. The company is also in preliminary talks with real estate developer DLF (NSE:DLF) for a potential New Delhi location.
Musk has often criticized India’s steep EV import tariffs of around 100%, lobbying for reductions despite resistance from local automakers concerned about competition.
Tesla's renewed focus on India comes after a canceled trip last year, during which Musk was expected to announce a $2-3 billion investment. The trip was called off due to global workforce layoffs amid slowing sales.
With 13 open positions across various departments, Tesla is positioning itself for a significant India presence. As the country pushes for EV adoption, Tesla's entry could reshape the Indian automotive landscape.
