Tesla Inc., the famous electric car maker, is set to double its component imports from India, significantly boosting the country’s auto industry. This exciting development was revealed by India’s Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal through a post on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
During his visit to Tesla’s manufacturing facility in Fremont, California, Goyal expressed pride in the growing importance of Indian auto component suppliers in Tesla’s electric vehicle supply chain.

Goyal’s visit to the United States was expected to include talks with Musk about Tesla’s plans for India, including setting up a local factory, manufacturing a $24,000 car, increasing the supply of components and the development of charging infrastructure throughout the country. These potential developments have created a lot of excitement and anticipation in the Indian automobile industry.
This news underscores India’s growing role in the global automotive supply chain and its emergence as a key player in the electric vehicle revolution. Tesla’s decision to deepen its engagement with India is a testament to the country’s robust manufacturing capabilities, skilled workforce and supportive business environment.
As the world transitions to sustainable mobility, India is positioning itself as a major hub for electric vehicle production and component sourcing. This development not only benefits Tesla but also paves the way for other global automotive companies to explore opportunities in India’s thriving automotive sector.
