The reason why the deal is stuck between Elon Musk and the Indian government is because of Subsidies. Elon Musk is trying hard to lower the import duty on his Tesla vehicles. However, this is being challenged by a lot of Indian car Manufacturers who don’t want to share this new EV market in India with Elon Musk’s Tesla.
Still working through a lot of challenges with the government

Indians have been waiting for a long time for Tesla to enter the Indian EV market. Even a lot of Indians tag him asking when will Tesla come to India. Elon Musk is liked by a lot of Indians because of his simplicity and how he made it big by working hard.
The Indian electric vehicle market is still in its infancy, but it is expected to develop at a 90 percent CAGR from 2021 to 2030. In terms of penetration, electric car sales in India will account for only 1.3 percent of total vehicle sales in 2021. The market, on the other hand, is fast expanding and is predicted to grow in value.
