A lack of local production of components and batteries, negligible charging infrastructure and the high cost of EVs mean there have been few takers in the price-conscious market.\nIt's also difficult to see how Tesla's sought-after and expensive autonomous driving features will work on India's congested roads.\nAmmar Master, a forecaster at consultancy LMC Automotive, said he expects Tesla to annually sell only 50-100 of its Model 3 electric sedans in India, at least in the first five years.\n\"As a country, India is still not so environmentally conscious to pay that much of a premium,\" Master said.\n\"It always comes down to the price point.

But then, how many buyers are there?\"\nThe world's most valuable automobile manufacturer registered a local company in India earlier this month, a step towards its entry in the country, expected to be as early as mid-2021.\nTesla plans to import and sell the Model 3 in India for around $65,000-$75,000 - roughly double the price in the U.S. market, sources familiar with the plans said.\nThis means it will compete in India's even smaller luxury EV segment that has recently started seeing interest from the likes of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and Daimler's Mercedes Benz.\nThe Mercedes Benz EQC, India's first luxury EV launched in October for $136,000, and has since sold 31 units, according to auto researcher JATO Dynamics. British luxury carmarker JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors , plans to launch its I-PACE EV before March. It sells in the United States for around $70,000.\nAlthough India's road infrastructure has improved in recent years, traffic discipline - like lane driving - is still rudimentary. Auto analysts say that means many of Tesla's features like the automatic lane changing function will be tough to deploy on crowded Indian streets.\nStray animals, including cattle, and potholes on the road are a further problem.\n\"Most of Tesla's high technology features will be redundant and users will not get the bang for the buck despite paying premium prices\", said Ravi Bhatia, president for India at JATO Dynamics.\nLOCAL PRODUCTION\nRohan Patel, a senior public policy executive at Tesla in the United States, is among those leading efforts around its India launch, the sources familiar with the plans said.
