The two major actions of recent manufacturing in India are the latest riot operation, which prohibits the import of civilian drones; the second is the tariffs on Tesla motors and the problem of setting up factories in India.
Of course, there may be other unspeakable reasons for banning the import of civilian drones, but the phrase "now is a good time to invest in India's drone industry" said by Indian officials clearly expresses the purpose of supporting india's drone production. Moreover, the Indian government also plans to provide about 100 million yuan in subsidies for the Indian drone industry to incentivize and attract global drone manufacturers to set up factories in India and export to other regions.
But can India's policy allow India's domestic drones to develop? In fact, as long as you understand India's domestic aircraft carrier Vikrant, LCA aircraft, Arjun tanks, as well as chandrayaan-1, 2 and the lunar landing project planned to launch this year, you can roughly predict the outcome of India's domestic UAV.
Tesla went to India to set up a factory, has been hyped for several years. India has a huge population, and Tesla has made a lot of money by setting up factories in China, and it is clear that Musk will not want to copy such a good thing to India. Musk is shrewd, and he clearly has doubts about the Indian market. Such a big thing as setting up a factory cannot be easily finalized, so I thought of selling cars from Chinese and American factories to the Indian market to test the waters.
But a huge obstacle lies in front of Musk. At present, India's tariff rate on imported cars under $40,000 is 60%, and the tariff rate on imported cars above $40,000 is 100%. That is to say, the Chinese Tesla sold to India, plus the tariff price will have to double. Therefore, Musk has been asking India to reduce taxes for Tesla, otherwise how can he test the accurate market in India? But that's where the tug-of-war begins.
Naturally, India has used its so-called "market advantage" as a weight in negotiations with Tesla. But doesn't India know how many pounds the Indian market has? You have to believe that it really is. Gurjar, minister of state of the Ministry of Heavy Industry of India, said on the 8th that unless Tesla produces electric vehicles in India, it will not give Tesla motors any good policies.
Another of his words: The Indian government will not allow Tesla Motors to occupy the Indian market but create jobs for China. All this has been said about this, and it is straightforward enough.
But will Musk set up a factory in India so easily? I don't think it's really likely. China's strong industrial chain foundation and good industrial policy are one of the fundamental reasons for the popularity of Tesla's Chinese factories. Musk knows this best, and he thanked China for it. Does India have such industrial base conditions? Does India have China's market size, economic strength, purchasing power?
Not only the electric vehicle industry, but also the drone industry. Good infrastructure and abundant supporting industrial support will form a mature industrial agglomeration, which is the premise for the development of electric vehicles and drone industries. As far as india is concerned, hehe.
Banning the import of drones and setting rules for Tesla can attract phoenix? It seems that India will have to continue to work hard and refuel.
