With Tesla showing interest in entering the Indian market, Rajasthan has emerged as a contender among various states vying for the opportunity to host the electric vehicle maker's plant. Following a promising meeting between Tesla executives and Rajasthan government representatives, the state has taken steps to propose suitable locations and tailor offers to attract the company's investment.
In an effort to showcase its potential as an ideal site for Tesla's operations, Rajasthan has highlighted the Salarpur and Khushkhera Industrial areas within the Bhiwadi industrial town. These zones, strategically located and connected to major highways, present a conducive environment for establishing an auto manufacturing hub. Moreover, the state's Investment Promotion Bureau is working towards providing customized incentives to sweeten the deal for Tesla, setting aside the usual auction procedures for land allotment in lieu of substantial investments from the company.
Rajasthan's pitch to Tesla includes its advantages such as proximity to major cities like Delhi and Mumbai, cost-effective labor, well-established infrastructure, and ample land availability. The state is also strategically planning for the future by incorporating upcoming projects like the proposed airport near Bhiwadi and a railway cargo terminal to further enhance connectivity and logistics support for potential investors. Additionally, competing with industrial heavyweights, Rajasthan aims to leverage its unique offerings to stand out among other states vying for Tesla's investment.
