Tesla’s first offering for India is expected to be launched by end of the first quarter of FY 2021-22 and is expected to be the affordable Model 3 electric sedan.
Tesla Motors India and Energy Private Limited was incorporated on January 8. Last year, Elon Musk had confirmed that his company would enter the Indian market in 2021.
The regulatory filing shows the Indian unit has three directors – David Feinstein, Vaibhav Taneja, and Venkatrangam Sreeram.
