Tesla, the world’s most rich man, is moving towards the Indian market, Elon Musk’s electric car manufacturer. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also met Allen Musk during the US visit. After which Tesla has taken out job vacancy in cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Pune in India. With the announcement of the recruitment of jobs, it has become clear that Tesla is going to step on the Indian land soon.
Meanwhile, the question has also arisen in the minds of the people that after Tesla’s India Entry, how will the vehicle manufacturers here compete with Tesla. One such question was also done by a user on social networking site ‘X’ (East Twitter) by Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra. The answer was given by Anand Mahindra in his style.

The user tagged Anand Mahindra in his post and wrote, “If dear Alan Musk bring his Tesla car to India, how will you handle the competition? Are you ready sir?” On this question of the user, Anand Mahindra replied in his post, “Since the opening of the Indian economy in 1991, we have been asked similar questions. How will you compete with them, Tata, Maruti all multinational companies ? “

Let me tell you that Tesla had been considering entering India for a long time, but she retreated due to high import duty. However, the government’s policy was recently changed. In which custom duty on luxury electric cars worth more than $ 40,000 was cut by 110% to 70%. This new policy of the government has made the Indian market even more attractive for foreign companies.
Mahindra’s line-up also strengthened-
Mahindra has also strengthened her portfolio in the electric vehicle segment. The company has recently launched its two new electric cars Mahindra Be6 and XEV 9E in the domestic market. Both these SUVs are becoming popular about their excellent look and design with their best performance. You can guess the popularity of these two SUVs in such a way that both these electric SUVs have jointly recorded a booking of 30,179 units in a day.
The initial price of Mahindra Be 6 is Rs 18.90 lakh. This SUV comes with two battery packs (59kwh and 79kwh). The small battery gives a range of 556 km and a large battery pack 682 km. The price of Mahindra Xev 9E starts at Rs 21.90 lakh. It also gets the option of two battery packs (59kwh and 79kwh). Which give a range of 542 km and 656 km respectively.
