Beard is something driver will want in part of India (6)

I believe the answer is:

goatee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'beard' is the definition.
(I know that goatee is a type of beard)

'something driver will want in part of india' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'part' could be 'tee' (I have seen 'Part of course' mean 'tee' so perhaps 'part' could also mean 'tee') and 'tee' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for goatee that I've seen before include "Facial hair" , "Small pointed beard" , "Beard like a ruminant animal" , "Small pointy beard" , "growth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
