Elon Musk's Tesla incorporated its Indian subsidiary Tesla India Motors and Energy Private Ltd in Bengaluru on January 8. Vaibhav Taneja, Venkatrangam Sreeram, and David Jon Feinstein are directors of the new entity.

Tesla, the world’s most valuable carmaker, has launched an Indian subsidiary as it prepares to create a much-awaited manufacturing plant and R&D unit in India.


The unit named Tesla India Motors and Energy Private Ltd was incorporated in Bengaluru on January 8, and Vaibhav Taneja, Venkatrangam Sreeram, and David Jon Feinstein have been named as directors, according to disclosures with the corporate affairs ministry.


A government official requesting anonymity told CNBC-TV18 that Tesla may not set up a manufacturing plant in India initially. “Tesla’s China factory may work as primary sourcing point initially. Tesla may start assembling vehicles in India after visible demand.”

It is a private unlisted company with an authorized capital of Rs 15,00,000 and a paid-up capital of Rs 1,00,000.

Earlier in the day, it was reported that Tesla is in talks with five state governments to commence operations in India. The governments of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu have had talks with the company who are also considering local partnerships.
