Chinese automaker BYD faces an ongoing Indian investigation over allegations that it paid too little tax on imported parts for cars it assembles and sells in the country, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter said.
India’s Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has alleged that China’s largest electric vehicle (EV) maker, whose expansion plans have been hit by fractious relations between New Delhi and Beijing, underpaid tax of Rs 73 crore ($9 million), one of the sources said.
