New Delhi/Mumbai, March 9: American electric vehicle (EV) giant Tesla has taken a major step toward establishing its presence in India by initiating a hiring spree for 13 key positions. These job openings are spread across customer service, sales, delivery operations, and technical support, signaling the company’s preparation to launch its retail and service operations in India.
Tesla Opens Recruitment for Key Roles in India
The hiring drive is primarily focused on Mumbai and Delhi, where Tesla has invited applications for positions such as Service Technician, Service Advisor, Customer Engagement Manager, and Delivery Operations Specialist. This marks a significant development, as the company had previously held back its India plans due to high import duties and regulatory hurdles.

Why Was Tesla’s India Entry Delayed?
Despite multiple discussions between Tesla and the Indian government over the past few years, the company’s entry was stalled due to high import duties. However, the Indian government recently announced a policy that offers reduced import duties for companies investing over ₹41.5 billion (approx. $500 million) in local manufacturing. This has paved the way for Tesla’s entry into the Indian market.
Is Tesla Bringing Its Affordable EV to India?
According to sources, Tesla is exploring the possibility of launching a low-cost electric car in India. This move could revolutionize India’s growing EV market and contribute to the country’s ambitious goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.
As one of the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitters, India is pushing for sustainable mobility solutions, and Tesla’s entry could be a game-changer for the electric vehicle ecosystem in the country.
With this hiring drive, it is now almost certain that Tesla’s Indian launch is imminent, and the company is gearing up for a strong presence in the world’s third-largest automobile market.
