NEW DELHI: Talks between India and Tesla over potential tax benefits are deadlocked as the government is not keen to give the company any breaks without a commitment to manufacture locally, people familiar with the discussions told Reuters.
A third person with direct knowledge of Tesla's thinking said the discussions with the Indian government have reached a"weird stalemate situation".The sources declined to be identified as the discussions are private. This would make India the most expensive market for Tesla cars in the world, putting them well out of reach for most Indian consumers.
