As it gets ready to enter the rapidly expanding electric vehicle market, Tesla, the electric vehicle firm founded by tech billionaire Elon Musk, is stepping up its hiring efforts in India. Tesla has posted 20 job positions in Maharashtra, with 15 in Mumbai and five in Pune, amid rumours that the company is finalising an agreement for a new showroom in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC).

There are five more roles available in Pune, where Tesla opened its first office in India:

Pune is a key site for Tesla's activities since it is developing into a major automotive hub that draws big manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz and Tata Motors. With an eye towards the future, Tesla hopes to open a production plant in India. Potential locations have been proposed by government representatives in Chakan and Chikhali, which are close to Pune and are well-known for their substantial automotive activity.
Tesla intends to establish a second showroom in Delhi's Aerocity after the Mumbai one. By providing easier access to its goods and services, this move into India's capital city demonstrates Tesla's intention to take a sizable portion of the market.
As worldwide EV sales decline and competition from Chinese manufacturers intensifies, the third-largest economy in Asia presents an intriguing growth prospect for Tesla's futuristic vehicles.
The state of the roads in Indian cities like Mumbai that have huge potholes on roads could be problematic. Ground clearance, or the distance between the ground and the lowest point of the car's undercarriage, is extremely low for Tesla vehicles. It will be challenging to adjust to Indian roadways because of this. It might be necessary to re-engineer current models in order to operate in the nation, which would increase production costs.
