🇮🇳 Chinese EVs in India: which ones can you buy?
India allows Chinese EVs, but with import barriers that raise the price. Below is every model we track, checked against India's framework.
India's import framework
| Market status | High-tariff market |
|---|
| Import barrier | EV import tariffs run roughly 70–100%; a lower ~15% rate applies only to firms investing heavily in local manufacturing. |

India protects a domestic EV industry, so imported Chinese EVs are heavily taxed unless the maker localizes production.
