India’s first Tesla car registered in Mumbai

-
It is the 16th electric vehicle registered in Mumbai during the current financial year.

India’s first Tesla X, a high-end electric car with self-driving capability, was registered at the Tardeo Regional Transport Office (RTO) on Friday. The car, a premium sport utility vehicle (SUV), is owned by Prashant Ruia, CEO of business conglomerate Essar.

“Being an electric vehicle, it is exempted from RTO taxes and cess,” said a RTO source, adding that generally, a tax of Rs20 lakh is charged on imported vehicles that cost more than Rs1 crore.


It is the 16th electric vehicle registered in Mumbai during the current financial year. Nine have been registered at Tardeo RTO, three each at Andheri RTO and Borivli RTO and one at Wadala RTO. Recently, the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking added five electric buses to its fleet, which are plying on the streets of south Mumbai.

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government wants only electric vehicles to ply on India’s roads by 2030 as part of its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under the global agreement on climate change, and to reduce spending on oil imports.

These days, it's tough to find a Bollywood celeb who hasn't gone under the knife. Most are spoken about for their breast implants.

Soon after surgery, her pals said how she looked better before. "I was heartbroken. I, too, didn't like what I saw in the mirror. It was depressing," she admitted. "My cheeks looked swollen. Since I was bony, it was very obvious. That's when people concluded I had done a face job." KOENA’S CANDID CONFESSION: MY NOSE JOB WAS A BIG F**K UP Plastic surgery gone wrong almost forced the actress to remain indoors for six months during which she lost out on two films Koena’s face is no longer bloated. And she is ready to dispel all those rumours that she had had a face-lift, lip job, nose job, boob job: she zones in on one definite option from the above; it was a nose jo...
