Tesla's entry will strengthen charging infrastructure in Mumbai: CM Fadnavis
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday said that Tesla's arrival in India would significantly strengthen Mumbai's electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. His remarks came at the inauguration of Tesla's first 'Experience Centre' in Mumbai. Speaking to the media, Fadnavis noted that Tesla's move to open its Experience Centre marks the American EV giant's formal entry into the Indian market. Beyond this, the company is also working on developing a robust ecosystem for delivery, logistics, and servicing in the region. 'Tesla is setting up four major charging stations in Mumbai, which will help build a large-scale charging infrastructure in the city,' CM Fadnavis added. The Chief Minister also expressed his delight that Tesla has chosen Mumbai for its first showroom in India. He emphasised that Maharashtra is now emerging as a leader in EVs and mobility, thanks to its supportive policies for charging infrastructure and manufacturing incentives, which are drawing global companies to the state. Tesla has launched its journey in India with the introduction of its popular Model Y. The rear-wheel drive (RWD) variant of the Model Y is priced at Rs 59.89 lakh (ex-showroom). The company has also unveiled the long-range RWD variant of the Model Y, priced at Rs 67.89 lakh. Addressing the gathering at the launch event, CM Fadnavis said, 'Mumbai is a symbol of innovation. It represents sustainability. Tesla is not just a car company -- it stands for design, innovation, and sustainability.' Recalling his first encounter with Tesla in the United States, CM Fadnavis said, 'Back in 2015, I had my first ride in a Tesla in the US, and I realised then that this is the kind of vehicle we need for mobility in India.' He added, 'It may have taken you 10 years to get here, but we are thrilled you've finally arrived. I believe the people of Mumbai and India will truly embrace Tesla. Once you begin vehicle deliveries, India will undoubtedly become one of your best markets.'

ISMA urges Govt to continue with curbs on ethanol imports
New Delhi: The Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) has urged the government to continue with the restrictions on ethanol imports as the measure has spurred India's petrol blending programme in the drive to green energy and also enabled timely payments to sugarcane farmers. ISMA has, in a letter to Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, referred to media reports suggesting the possible consideration of lifting restrictions on ethanol imports for fuel blending, as part of ongoing trade discussions with the US. The latter states that over the last few years, the Government's clear and forward-looking policy direction-anchored in the National Policy on Biofuels which led to placing ethanol imports for fuel under the 'restricted' category, has laid a solid foundation for a self-reliant, domestic ethanol economy. The interest subvention schemes and facilitative regulatory ecosystem have catalysed the establishment and expansion of indigenous ethanol capacities across India, the letter points out. These landmark interventions have achieved multiple national objectives of ensuring timely payments and enhanced incomes for sugarcane farmers, reducing India's dependence on imported crude oil and promoting clean and sustainable biofuels, the letter states. It highlights that the coordinated effort has led to India's ethanol production capacity growing by over 140 per cent since 2018, with investments exceeding Rs 40,000 crore. Ethanol blending has already reached 18.86 per cent and is firmly on track to meet the 20 per cent blending objective ahead of target. This remarkable progress has been made possible due to the Prime Minister's visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to the welfare of India's farmers. This has had a direct and measurable impact on farmers' welfare. By allowing the diversion of sugarcane and surplus grains into ethanol production at administered prices, the government has enabled timely cane payments and improved farm-level incomes across the country, the letter added. The latter states that opening up ethanol imports for blending would pose challenges to the sugar industry as it would affect profitability and may lead to underutilisation of Indian ethanol plants, many of which are still in the early stages of capital recovery.
