Tesla Inc is in talks with at least three Indian auto component suppliers as part of its plans to enter the local market, according to the Economic Times.
The company is seeking critical electrical, electronic and mechanical components. The parts include instrument panels, windshields, differential brakes, gears and power seats.
Sona Comstar Ltd, Sandhar Technologies Ltd and Bharat Forge Ltd are among the Indian companies already supplying components to Tesla. Tesla did not respond to queries in this regard.
Elon Musk, Chief Executive Officer, Tesla, said in July that, a Tesla factory to produce cars in India is quite likely if the electric automaker can first begin sales with imported vehicles. Tesla is currently lobbying for lower taxes on imports as it considers plans to expand into India, one of the world’s biggest emerging car markets.
