“Elon Musk is not here. He is in the US," he said. “We Indians are here. He cannot produce what Mahindra can do, what Tata can do – it’s not possible. He can do (it) under Trump’s shadow, in the US. He’s super smart, no question about it. He’s a maverick, doing spacecraft and all that. He’s done amazing work, so I don’t want to take anything from him. But to be successful in India is not an easy job," Jindal said.

The showroom would reportedly host the first office in India of the company in the Maker Maxity building in the business and retail hub of Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), near Mumbai airport, according to the report.

The move came just a few days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Tesla's CEO Elon Musk in the US.

As per the documents, Tesla signed a lease for five years, starting from February 16, 2025, and would shell out rent of approximately $446,000 (about Rs 38,872,030) for the first year in exchange for a space measuring 4,003 square feet (372 square metres)-almost as big as a basketball court.
