I believe the latest is that expansion plans are still going through the approval process - there are multiple approvals being performed. Expansion of phase 1, then the phase 2 construction permit to follow after. Here's some of the latest:
Latest GigaIndia updates. Key takeaways:
“If it works out, this will the biggest foreign direct investment commitment in India. Tesla will invest $3 billion in the plant and other partners in its manufacturing ecosystem will invest another $10 billion. In parallel, there will be another $5 billion investment in batteries that will grow to $15 billion. We are looking at a total of $30 billion,” said a person close to the company and involved in discussions on the project."
"Within India, Tesla is considering four major auto manufacturing hubs to set up its plant -- Haryana (which will help cater to the biggest market in NCR), Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Gujarat. But given the major plans for export, it is likely that, if it does invest, Tesla may opt for a coastal state in the west or south."
*So Tesla is NOT set on Gujarat.

$30 BILLION starts to make sense when we see how the Indian government wants to buildout the ecosystems of "[energy] storage" and chip manufactuing around Tesla. Over 80% (CEO Alex Karp said 84%) of the most valuable tech companies on earth are currently US borne. As the manufacturing tech giants, like Apple and Tesla, move from China to India, this is the chance for India to develop state-of-the-art infrastructure and manufacturing base. This is a big moment for India. I now have a feeling the politics surrounding GigaIndia negotiations may end up moving along more slowly than Berlin was built...
SOURCE: India, US addressing Pannun controversy; Tesla awaits EV policy for entry: Mukesh Aghi
On the much anticipated electric vehicle (EV) major Tesla’s entry into India, Aghi, who was in India briefly to participate in the Vibrant Gujarat Summit recently, said that there is no discussion on the same as Tesla is awaiting India’s EV policy and that the company’s entry would involve a strong chip manufacturing ecosystem and not just a battery ecosystem. Edited excerpts:
"You have what is called a geopolitical alignment. The US companies want to secure the supply chain. That is driving the relationship. The access to each other’s market is critical. Another factor is the five million Indian American population in the US. They comprise 1.5 per cent of the population but generate about six per cent of the gross domestic product. So they are affluent and are deeply engaged in political appointments too.
There hasn’t been a discussion on Tesla. Tesla is waiting for government policy to come. But we have to look at Tesla not just purely from the EV perspective but from the perspective of how it can build an ecosystem for chip manufacturing.
A Tesla car requires around 2,000 chips. And if they plan to have a production facility to manufacture five lakh cars, think about the ecosystem. Tesla’s storage technology is world-class. So once the government policy gets streamlined, Tesla may come in. But there is no discussion at the moment."

So groundworks in Mexico might finish in a few months, pause and then construction starts in 2025 for completion in 2026?
