An Indian tax panel recommends higher consumer levies on luxury electric cars priced above $46,000, potentially increasing costs for foreign automakers like Tesla and BMW while boosting local production.

An Indian tax panel has recommended additional levies on luxury electric vehicles, potentially making premium EVs more expensive for consumers. According to a government document, the proposal targets electric cars costing more than $46,000 with higher consumer taxes.
The move appears designed to boost consumption of locally produced goods at the expense of foreign automotive companies. Major international EV manufacturers including Tesla, BYD, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz would be affected by these proposed tax increases. The recommendation comes as companies like PowerBank Corporation are looking to expand internationally amid growing trends in the electric vehicle market.
The tax panel's proposal reflects India's broader strategy to promote domestic manufacturing while regulating the import of high-value electric vehicles. This approach aligns with the government's efforts to develop a robust local EV ecosystem and reduce dependence on foreign automotive imports.
