Tesla’s Gigafactory Berlin is making headlines as it gears up to produce right-hand drive vehicles for the Indian market—a first for the German plant. Traditionally, Tesla’s RHD production has been managed by Giga Shanghai, serving countries like Australia, Japan, and the United Kingdom. However, this strategic shift indicates that Giga Berlin will now be contributing to Tesla’s global expansion efforts.
In a further commitment to the Indian market, Tesla is reportedly sending a team to explore potential sites for a local manufacturing plant. The American EV giant is said to be considering a $2 billion investment in an Indian gigafactory. This comes on the heels of India’s recent policy change, which reduces import tax rates for automakers investing a minimum of $500 million and commencing vehicle production within three years.
As Tesla continues to navigate the complexities of international markets, its investment in India represents not only a significant business opportunity but also aligns with the country’s push towards sustainable transportation solutions.
