Tesla reportedly in talks to set up India venture

By Steve Goldstein

Tesla is in talks with Reliance Industries to set up manufacturing in India, according to a published report.

The Hindu BusinessLine cited a person familiar with the situation as saying talks are at initial stages and have been ongoing for a month. Tesla (TSLA) may pick a site in Maharashtra, which is bordered by the Arabian Sea, as it is looking for a site suitable both for domestic and export purposes, the report said. The report added Tesla has earmarked $2 billion for its India plans.

The report added that the talks with Reliance (IN:500325) are not exclusive.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has already stated his desire to provide Tesla vehicles in India.

Tesla shares rose 1% in premarket trade. The stock has dropped 28% this year, making it the worst performing of the so-called Magnificent Seven tech giants.
