Tue Feb 18 14:22:20 UTC 2025: ## Tesla Signals India Entry After Modi-Musk Meeting, Posts Jobs in Mumbai, Delhi, and Pune
**NEW DELHI** – Following a recent meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Tesla CEO Elon Musk during Modi’s visit to the United States, Tesla has indicated its imminent entry into the Indian market. The electric vehicle giant has begun posting numerous job openings across India, strongly suggesting a planned launch of its vehicles.
Job listings on Tesla’s official website reveal positions in Mumbai, Delhi, and Pune. Pune-based openings include roles in engineering and information technology, such as PCB design engineer and electronic systems engineer. Mumbai postings focus on vehicle service, with vacancies for parts advisors, service technicians, and service managers. Sales and customer support roles in Mumbai also include store manager, business operator analyst, customer support supervisor, and delivery operations specialist.
Tesla’s entry has been anticipated for some time, but high import duties had previously presented a significant hurdle. However, a recent government policy change, reducing customs duty on luxury electric vehicles (priced above $40,000) from 110% to 70%, has made the Indian market considerably more attractive to foreign companies like Tesla. The job postings strongly suggest that an official announcement of Tesla’s India launch is forthcoming.
