Tesla in advanced talks with Reliance for EV manufacturing venture in India: Report

Tesla Motors is reportedly in discussions with Reliance Industries to establish a joint venture for manufacturing electric vehicles in India. Sources close to the matter revealed to Business Line that the talks have been underway for over a month, indicating Tesla's serious interest in expanding its presence in the Indian market.

While the specifics of the partnership are still being ironed out, it's believed that RIL aims to provide capacities to build India's EV ecosystem rather than directly entering the automobile sector.

Tesla is said to be allocating a substantial $2 billion investment towards its Indian venture. The company is exploring various locations across India, with Maharashtra emerging as a potential frontrunner due to its port facilities, crucial for domestic production and exports.

Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, expressed optimism about India's potential market during a recent virtual session. He emphasized the necessity of electric vehicles in India, hinting at Tesla's eagerness to tap into this burgeoning market.

The impending visit of senior Tesla officials to finalize the joint venture and select a suitable plant location underscores the company's commitment to establishing a robust manufacturing base in India. However, sources as per Business Line, caution that the talks with RIL are not exclusive, leaving room for Tesla to explore alternative partnerships if needed.

The potential collaboration between Tesla and RIL holds promise for India's EV industry, potentially accelerating the adoption of sustainable transportation solutions in the country. As the discussions progress, stakeholders eagerly await further developments in this strategic partnership that could reshape India's automotive landscape.
