Tesla leases warehousing facility in Mumbai's Kurla West for five years
Elon Musk's Tesla Inc has leased a 24,565 square-foot (sqft) warehousing facility in Mumbai's Kurla West for a five-year term, according to lease documents sourced from real estate data analytics firm CRE Matrix. The American electric carmaker will use the ground-floor space in Building 1 of Lodha Logistics Park as a service centre and garage, excluding bodywork and spray painting operations, the agreement states. This development comes to light a day after Union Heavy Industries Minister H D Kumaraswamy said Tesla was yet to show interest in manufacturing EVs in India. While the company is preparing for a market debut, local production does not figure into its immediate plans. Tesla will initially pay a monthly rent of ₹37.53 lakh (₹153 per sqft), with a 5 per cent annual escalation clause built into the lease. The licensor entity is Bellissimo (in City FC Mumbai 1), which operates in real estate services on a fee or contract basis. Tesla has deposited ₹2.25 crore as security. The lease officially commenced on April 20, 2025, with a rent-free period of one month and 10 days. Rent payments begin June 1, 2025. The lease was registered on May 16, 2025. Under the agreement, Tesla will also pay common area maintenance charges of ₹10 per sqft, with a 5 per cent annual escalation, and will receive 20 parking spots with the facility. 'Tesla's India entry is taking shape through a deliberate, multi-city rollout, from its office in Pune to flagship showrooms in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) and Delhi-NCR, co-working presence in BKC, and now a strategic warehousing facility in Kurla West,' said Abhishek Kiran Gupta, CEO of CRE Matrix. 'This 24,565 sqft lease at ₹153 per sqft is more than a real estate transaction — it's a signal of intent.' In March, Tesla leased showroom space in BKC for a monthly rent of ₹35.26 lakh -- or ₹888 per sqft -- for five years. The company is reportedly leasing a second showroom in Delhi NCR's Aerocity. Tesla's registered Indian office is located at Tablespace, Panchshil Business Park in Pune, and it has also leased co-working space near BKC in Mumbai. In May, Business Standard reported that Tesla is scouting land in Satara, hometown of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, for a completely knocked down (CKD) electric vehicle assembly unit, according to a senior government official. Tesla's official entry into the Indian market is expected in the final quarter of the current financial year. The Maharashtra government previously offered Tesla industrial land in Chakan and Chikhali near Pune, both key automotive hubs. Chakan hosts several major automakers including Mercedes-Benz, Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Volkswagen, and Bajaj Auto.

Green card holders barred from purchasing land in Ohio? What a proposed bill says
Green card holders may not be able to buy land in Ohio if a proposed bill gets passed. A bill proposed by Ohio lawmakers could prohibit some green card holders from certain countries from purchasing land across the state. The bill adheres to America First policy, Ohio state representative Angel King (R), one of the sponsors of the bill, told Newsweek. The existing green card holders who already have a property are can't purchase a new property within the bill's outlined 25-mile radius, King said. Introduced by Representatives King and Roy Klopfenstein, House Bill 1, seeks to limit who can be a land owner. "This is about protecting our obligation to keep our power stations, water treatment plants, and gas lines safe from surveillance and espionage," King said. The aim is to save Ohio land from foreign citizens especially from countries like China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and Syria within 25 miles of "critical infrastructure". The bill exempts American citizens or those with dual citizenship from the ban. Under the bill, the list of land that would fall under 'protected property' is long. It includes any railroad property, a dam operating by the state or federal government, and trucking terminals. The bill also includes airports, military bases and farmland. County sheriffs would be responsible for enforcing the new restrictions. If the legislation passes, individuals subject to the prohibition would be required to sell restricted property within two years. Similar laws exist in Florida and Texas but they also faced lawsuits and national debate. "The bill is part of a broader national push to address concerns about foreign land ownership tied to national security. However, as currently written, the legislation would create sweeping limitations that affect far more than high-risk transactions, including everyday residential purchases," Ohio Realtors said. List of nationals who can't buy land in Ohio if the bill is passed China Russia Iran North Korea Cuba Venezuela Syria Ohio's secretary of state would have to update the list every six months, the proposed bill said.
