The Government of Haryana has formally offered Tesla a dedicated manufacturing unit in the state, signalling a major push to attract global electric vehicle (EV) investments and position Haryana as a leading automotive hub in India.
According to senior state officials, the proposal was presented during high-level discussions with Tesla representatives, where the government highlighted Haryana’s strong industrial ecosystem, strategic location near the national capital, and well-developed logistics network.
Haryana Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini stated that the state is prepared to provide world-class infrastructure, fast-track approvals, and policy incentives if Tesla chooses the region as its manufacturing base. “Haryana has been the backbone of India’s automotive industry. We welcome Tesla with open arms and are committed to supporting their long-term growth in India,” he said.
Gurugram and Manesar—already home to major global auto companies—are being considered as potential sites due to their robust supplier networks and skilled workforce. State authorities have also suggested possible locations in industrial zones being developed along the upcoming logistics corridors.
Industry experts say the offer comes at a time when Tesla is evaluating multiple Indian states for a factory, following the central government’s new EV policy aimed at attracting global manufacturers with reduced import duties tied to local production commitments.
If Tesla accepts Haryana’s proposal, the investment could bring significant economic benefits, including job creation, localisation of EV components, and acceleration of India’s clean mobility transition.
While Tesla has not yet confirmed its decision, sources indicate the company is actively assessing options in India, with Haryana now emerging as a strong contender.
The final decision is expected in the coming months as Tesla completes its evaluation of regulatory frameworks, infrastructure readiness, and long-term market potential across shortlisted states.
