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.

Here is Nikunj Malik's Interview After the Swayamvar... Nikunj Mallik Mysteriously, Rahul Mahajan seemed like great marriage material to besotted young girls (or they put up a very good act, at any rate) on Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega. Nikunj Malik, one of the three finalists, decided to stop looking at him through rose-tinted glasses and is now rather vocal about her dislike. She says, “I feel Dimpy is perfect for Rahul as both have similar habits and lifestyles, which is not very acceptable to me. Though Rahul was quite interested in me, which was quite evident, I realised he’s not the kind of person I’d like to spend my life with.” A man never changes his spots, darling, so what possessed her to go for someone like Rahul? She says, “For the past two years, there has been no negative publicity about him. When at 35, a man wants to settle down and have a family, that worked for me. He is a nice man, but it’s obvious there is no visible improvement. It was the drinking, smoking and C...

Salman Khan Issued Supreme Court Notice On Acquittal In Chinkara Poaching Case Actor Salman Khan was today issued notice by the Supreme Court on an appeal by the Rajasthan government challenging his acquittal in two poaching cases. In July, the Rajasthan High Court found the 50-year-old actor not guilty of killing an endangered species of gazelle or chinkara in two separate incidents in 1998 while he was shooting a film in the desert state. The state government challenged his acquittal; it wants him to be imprisoned to serve the rest of his sentence - after being convicted in 2007 for hunting down and killing the chinkaras, he was awarded a one-year prison term and a five-year prison term respectively. He then spent a week in jail in Jodhpur before being granted bail. While finding him not guilty, the High Court had said there was no evidence to prove that the animals who were found dead were shot by Mr Khan's licensed gun. A key witness, the driver of the jeep that was us...

Death didn't alter the bitterness. The sudden demise of Devendra Ahuja, top banker of Centurion Bank, has heightened the rift in the Ahuja family, as son in law Bobby Deol performed the last rites at Chandanwadi crematorium, even as scion Vikram Ahuja was allegedly kept out of the cremation and wasn't allowed to perform the last rites. Allegedly, this was completely in accordance with Devendra Ahuja's will. Devendra Ahuja (or Dev Ahuja) and Son Vikram Reportedly, the 14 year old battle between father and son escalated after Vikram accused his 74 year old father who'd moved out of the family house to stay with his mistress, 20 years his junior, of being biased towards Bobby Deol and his spouse Tania. Deol flew in from Toronto where he was filming for Anees Bazmee's 'Thank You' for the cremation of Ahuja's body. And although close sources state that Tania did hug her brother Vikram even as they broke down, he was reportedly not allowed to perform the last ...
