Tesla India Opens Doors — Here’s What to Expect
In a move that has electrified the Indian auto industry, Tesla has officially opened its doors in India, marking a monumental moment for the future of sustainable mobility in the country. With the first showroom launched in Mumbai, Tesla is ready to tap into the rising demand for premium electric vehicles (EVs) among Indian consumers. Here’s a breakdown of what buyers, enthusiasts, and the EV ecosystem can expect from Tesla’s much-awaited entry into India.
1. First Showroom in Mumbai
Tesla’s first official showroom in India has been inaugurated in Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), a prime business district. The space showcases Tesla’s futuristic aesthetic, equipped with a digital display area, interactive product demos, and EV charging infrastructure.
This marks the beginning of Tesla’s physical presence in India, with more showrooms planned in Delhi and Bengaluru in the coming months.
2. Launch of the Tesla Model Y
The company has debuted with the Tesla Model Y, a popular all-electric SUV that combines performance, utility, and range. Known for its minimalist interior, spacious cabin, and advanced features like Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability, the Model Y will be Tesla’s flagship offering in India initially.
The Model Y is expected to be imported as a completely built unit (CBU) for now, with prices starting from ₹70–₹80 lakh (ex-showroom) depending on the variant.
3. Booking and Delivery Timeline
Bookings for the Model Y are now open via Tesla’s India website and in the showroom. Early customers can expect deliveries to begin by late 2025, with Tesla working on streamlining import clearances and charging infrastructure rollout in parallel.

4. Focus on Charging Infrastructure
Tesla’s entry into India is not just about selling cars—it’s also about building an ecosystem. The brand is reportedly in talks with local partners and government bodies to install Supercharger stations along major highways and in metro cities. Initially, charging solutions will be offered through home charger installations and third-party tie-ups.
5. Localization and Future Plans
Although Tesla’s first wave of products will be imported, the company is actively exploring manufacturing options in India. Several states, including Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu, have shown interest in hosting Tesla’s Gigafactory, which could significantly reduce future costs and allow for broader model availability like the Model 3 or the upcoming next-gen Tesla hatchback.
