Tesla Model 3 at ₹30 Lakh in India, BYD Game Over?

Tesla’s India entry is closer than ever, with talks to slash 100% import duties gaining traction in April 2025. If approved, the Tesla Model 3 could hit showrooms at ₹30 lakh, undercutting BYD’s Atto 3. Posts on X highlight Elon Musk’s push into India after a 70% sales drop globally in Q1 2025. Local production in Karnataka by 2027 promises 10,000 jobs, but India’s 32,500 charging stations—far short of the 72,300 target by 2026—pose risks. Tesla’s tech edge, including Level-2 ADAS, could sway premium buyers, but infrastructure gaps may deter mass adoption. Will Tesla’s bold move spark an EV price war, or is India not ready for Musk’s vision?
