Tesla Faces Setback in India: EVs Excluded from New India-US Trade Deal

• New India-US trade deal reduces tariffs on Indian goods and high-end American cars, but excludes Electric Vehicles (EVs).
• Elon Musk's Tesla, seeking lower import duties in India, receives no relief from the interim trade pact.
• Tariffs on internal-combustion cars over 3000 cc will decrease to 30% over 10 years, but EVs are left out.
• India's decision contrasts with tariff reductions for European auto companies, including some EVs, in EU deal.
• Tesla struggles in India, selling only 227 cars in 2025 and offering discounts amid global sales decline.
