The move comes as Prime Minister Narendra Modi promoted the production and use of electric vehicles to reduce the country’s oil dependence and cut down on pollution. The state had earlier said Tesla would open a research and development (R&D) centre in Bengaluru, according to reports.

“We have been interacting with Tesla for the last few months and it is happy news that they have decided to incorporate their company here. We have impressed upon them that Bengaluru is not only the technology capital but also the aerospace and space capital. For any kind of technology collaboration, it has the right kind of talent pool," Gaurav Gupta, principal secretary, commerce & industries of Karnataka.

As a production unit will setup in India it will create a lucrative opportunity for jobs for people. And EV cars have a higher scope in the upcoming years as fuel prices are increasing day by day and the carbon level is at peak in the atmosphere. To overcome all these, we need more use of EV in the upcoming era.
