Hence the delay

Replying to this user, Elon Musk said that Tesla Inc. can set up a factory in India with the success of imported vehicles. He further said that we want to do this, but the import tax here is the highest in the world as compared to any big country. In addition, clean energy vehicles are considered at par with diesel or petrol, which are not in line with India's climate change goals.
