India's EV Policy Restrictions: India's new EV policy allows foreign automakers to benefit from reduced import tariffs if they invest in local manufacturing, but limits the recognition of investments in charging infrastructure to only 5% of total EV investment, prioritizing vehicle production over charging network development.
Impact on Tesla and Other Automakers: As Tesla prepares to enter the Indian market with imported cars, the restrictions may deter investment in necessary charging infrastructure, which is crucial for boosting EV sales in a country where fast chargers are scarce.
