Tesla's India-Bound Cars To Roll Out From German Gigafactory: Report
Tesla's India-Bound Cars To Roll Out From German Gigafactory: Report
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been quick with its India plans ever since the Southeast Asian nation relaxed import duties to reduce the burden of overseas automakers exporting cars into the country. The electric-vehicle giant is mulling plans to import Giga-Berlin-made cars to India, a report said on Thursday.
自从特斯拉公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）放松进口关税以减轻海外汽车制造商向印度出口汽车的负担以来，特斯拉公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）一直迅速实施其印度计划。周四的一份报告称，这家电动汽车巨头正在考虑向印度进口超级柏林制造的汽车的计划。
What Happened: Tesla has commenced production of right-hand drive (RHD) cars in Germany meant for exporting to India later this year, Reuters reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The Giga Berlin currently manufactures only Model Y – an all-electric mid-size SUV, but the report said it wasn't clear yet which model the company plans to bring to India.
发生了什么：路透社援引知情人士的话报道，特斯拉已开始在德国生产右手驾驶（RHD）汽车，计划于今年晚些时候出口到印度。Giga Berlin目前仅生产Model Y——一款全电动中型SUV，但报告称，目前尚不清楚该公司计划向印度推出哪款车型。
Tesla did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.
特斯拉没有立即回应本辛加的置评请求。
This is the first time Giga Berlin is manufacturing RHD cars, and so far Tesla's Giga Shanghai has been manufacturing cars for RHD markets such as Australia and Japan, the report said.
报告称，这是Giga Berlin首次生产RHD汽车，到目前为止，特斯拉的Giga Shanghai一直在为澳大利亚和日本等RHD市场生产汽车。
Incidentally, Indian officials had previously warned Tesla against using India as a dumping ground for made-in-China cars.
顺便说一句，印度官员此前曾警告特斯拉不要将印度用作中国制造的汽车的倾倒场。
Why It's Important: Under the new Indian import guidelines, automakers are allowed to import up to 8,000 cars costing $35,000 or more per year at a lower tax rate of 15%. This is a steep reduction from the 70%-100% taxes the country previously levied, depending on the value of the car.
为何重要：根据新的印度进口指南，汽车制造商每年最多可以进口8,000辆价值35,000美元或以上的汽车，税率较低，为15％。这比该国先前征收的70％-100％的税收大幅下降，具体取决于汽车的价值。
The reduced tax rate is conditioned on the beneficiary company committing to invest at least $500 million and start domestic manufacturing within three years.
降低税率的条件是受益公司承诺投资至少5亿美元，并在三年内开始国内制造。
Tesla has been lobbying with the Indian government for long for the reduction, given the country's huge market potential. The company has also planned to invest in a charging network and spend $2 billion on setting up a plant.
鉴于印度巨大的市场潜力，特斯拉长期以来一直在游说印度政府要求减排。该公司还计划投资充电网络，并花费20亿美元建立工厂。
The report also said the U.S. company is planning to reduce sourcing from China and simultaneously increase its imports from India. A local media outlet in India reported earlier this week that Tesla has begun scouting for sites to locate its India factory. The Indian states in focus include those with existing automotive manufacturing such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu, the report said.
报告还说，这家美国公司计划减少从中国的采购，同时增加从印度的进口。印度当地一家媒体本周早些时候报道说，特斯拉已开始寻找印度工厂的所在地。报告称，印度关注的州包括拥有现有汽车制造业的州，例如马哈拉施特拉邦、古吉拉特邦和泰米尔纳德邦。
The rumored move comes even as the Elon Musk-led company's fundamentals have deteriorated amid supply and demand challenges.
尽管埃隆·马斯克领导的公司的基本面因供需挑战而恶化，但传闻中的举动还是出现了。
Price Action: At last check, Tesla shares rose 1.10% to $170.24, according to Benzinga Pro data.
价格走势：根据Benzinga Pro的数据，在最后一次检查中，特斯拉股价上涨1.10％，至170.24美元。
