Mahindra & Mahindra has urged the Indian government to ensure a level playing field between domestic and foreign electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers and prioritize local manufacturing, emphasizing the importance of global EV makers investing in India. This comes as the Indian government considers policy changes, including lowering import taxes, which has raised concerns among domestic automakers like Mahindra and Tata Motors. While not directly naming Tesla, Mahindra’s Managing Director, Anish Shah, stated the need for a stronger EV industry within India and avoiding a situation where manufacturing is shifted outside the country.
