Tesla’s India country head, Prashanth Menon, has resigned, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday, at a time when the U.S. electric carmaker is getting closer to launching its cars in the world’s third-largest car market.

Tesla’s China teams will oversee India operations, with no immediate successor named, the report said, citing unnamed sources.

Menon is stepping down as the chairman of Tesla India’s board after working with the Elon Musk-led company for nearly nine years, it added.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
