Tesla Goes To PM’s Office, Requests Tax Cut On Electric Vehicles: Report

Four sources told that Tesla has urged the prime minister’s office to cut its import taxes before electric vehicles enter the market, which has increased the demands of some Indian automakers to oppose it.

Tesla hopes to start selling imported cars in India this year, but said that the country’s taxes are the highest in the world. Its demand for tax cuts — first reported in July — drew opposition from several local companies, who said the move would hinder investment in domestic manufacturing.

Four sources familiar with the discussions said that Tesla executives, including its head of Indian policy Manuj Khurana, presented the company’s request to officials of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a closed-door meeting last month. Said taxes are too high. One of the sources said that at a meeting in Prime Minister Modi’s office, Tesla stated that India’s responsibilities structure would not make its operations in the country a “viable proposal”.

India imposes a 60% import tax on electric vehicles with a price of 40,000 US dollars or less, and a 100% import tax on electric vehicles with a price of more than 40,000 US dollars. Analysts said that at such prices, Tesla cars will become too expensive for buyers and may limit their sales. Three sources said that Tesla also separately asked its CEO Elon Musk to meet with Prime Minister Modi. PM Modi’s office and Tesla, as well as its executive officer, Mr. Khurana, did not respond to requests for comment.

It is not clear what Modi’s office specifically told Tesla’s response, but four sources told that government officials differed on the US automaker’s requirements. Some officials hope the company will commit to local manufacturing before considering any import tax relief.

Recalling how Amrita Singh prevented Saif Ali Khan from endorsing his movie Pehla Nasha, Deepak Tijori “I was shocked by it.”

Recently, Deepak Tijori revealed some startling trivia about his 1990 film Pehla Nasha. He remembered when Saif was urged not to promote the film by Amrita Singh.

Tipppsy, the next film directed by Deepak Tijori, marks his return to directing. The actor-director is never afraid to speak openly about his colleagues. In a recent Zoom TV interview, Deepak remembered that Amrita Singh had previously advised Saif Ali Khan not to back Deepak’s movie Pehla Nasha.

In addition to starring in several films in the 1990s with Shah Rukh Khan, Rahul Roy, and Aamir Khan, Deepak also portrayed the lead in Pehla Nasha. The actor revealed that there was a scene in the Ashuotsh Gowariker-directed movie when Saif, Rahul Roy, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan made cameo appearances.

According to Deepak Tijori, Amrita Singh prevented Saif Ali Khan from endorsing his movie.

When asked if Bollywood performers were friendly at parties but did not promote one other’s films, he responded, “Yeah, I guess I could probably tell you a personal experience.” I am referring about 1993 here. We were working on a movie named Pehla Nasha back in 1993. Surprisingly, there was a moment in the movie when everyone wants celebrities to attend a character’s debut. We had buddies, and the director was Ashutosh Gowariker. Therefore, I was taken aback when this particular occurrence occurred.”

According to Deepak, Amrita advised Saif not to back him.

He went on, “It seems that Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Aamir Khan were on their way.” Thus, Saif was reading, and this was similar to his interpretation of it when he got ready at home. Amrita Singh, his former spouse, questioned him, “What are you doing?” To what destination are you heading? “I’m heading to a premiere,” he declared. I’m heading out to shoot. I’m going to be involved with Deepak’s debut. “Really?” was her question. In what way is this possible? You know, we never did all these things. Who takes this action? similar to when you go and help someone on a premiere. That was a moment, then, and I was shocked by it. Evidently, something didn’t truly exist back then (days).
