Indian officials are reluctant to roll back duties on imported vehicles so Tesla can determine whether the market would be an ideal place to build a factory that could potentially cost $1 billion or more. Tesla cannot effectively test demand because the import duties would increase the cost of cars $40,000 and under by 40%.
