At the inauguration, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis welcomed Tesla to the state and encouraged the company to consider setting up manufacturing and research operations locally as well.He noted Mumbai’s reputation as a centre of innovation and sustainability.

Tesla is targeting wealthy city buyers in India and plans to compete with premium electric car brands like BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Although most vehicles in India still run on petrol or diesel, the electric car market is slowly growing. The government hopes to increase electric vehicle sales to 30% by 2030, from just 4% now by offering tax benefits and other incentives too. 

Reports add that the second showroom will come up in Delhi.
