ny reason why they wouldn't ship from China? Seems a bit mental you'd ship a car all the way to India from Europe when there's a factory churning out cars on their doorstep in Shanghai

Historic reasons, I guess. Knowing India, they oppose chinese products as there is always a tension between these two. No politician in India can win an election after making a deal with Tesla and give Chinese the production.

Tesla want to build a factory in India and this is a way in to their market

Yes, the agreement is for Tesla to build Giga Chennai/Mumbai/Ahmedabad plant in 3 years time and during the process Tesla can import their cars for nominal excise duty of 10-15% instead of the 200% that attracts other foreign brands if they do not have a factory in India.

Same as why Teslas in Taiwan also come from Berlin rather than the much much closer Shanghai factory.
