NEW DELHI: Porsche India is planning to bring its electric car Taycan in India by the end of May 2020, the company said during the launch of Macan facelift + on Monday.
“We have a global launch (of Taycan) some time in September and, in India, we will see the car in the first four to five months of the next year, in 2020 before end of May,” Porsche India director Pavan Shetty said.
“I think it is a positive decision, it goes with our plans of electrification,” Shetty said. The arrival of electric car Taycan in India by the end of May 2020 would add Porsche in the list of companies driving in EVs to the Indian market. Porsche will import CBU (completely built units) Taycan to India.
He also welcomed the government’s decision to reduce the goods and services tax on electric vehicles (EVs) to 5 per cent from 12 per cent along with slashing tax rates on chargers to 5 per cent from 18 per cent. “I think it is a positive decision, it goes with our plans of electrification,” Shetty said.
