Tesla Secures Office Space in Pune Viman Nagar Amidst Talks of Indian Market Entry

10 Aug 2023

US electric vehicle giant Tesla's plans for entry into the Indian market have taken a significant step forward as its India arm, Tesla India Motor & Energy, has secured office space spanning 5,850 sq ft in Pune's Viman Nagar locality. The leased coworking centre, located in Panchshil Business Park, will serve as a base of operations for the company, with the lease set to span a total of five years, commencing on October 1. Notably, Tesla retains the option to extend the lease for an additional five years, showcasing its potential commitment for a decade. This move comes in the midst of Tesla's discussions with the Indian government about establishing an electric vehicle manufacturing factory within the country. Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, has indicated a more positive stance on Indian manufacturing after previously citing high levies as a deterrent. Tesla's interest in India's automotive industry and its desire to tap into the country's robust supply chain underscore its determination to become a significant player in the Indian EV market, characterised by evolving policies and demands for sustainable transportation solutions.
