Tesla inaugurated its first Indian showroom in Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex on July 15, 2025, marking the company’s official entry into the world’s third-largest auto market. The flagship location will showcase Tesla’s EV lineup to Indian consumers, starting with Model Y deliveries in Q3 2025 priced at ₹6.78 million ($79,089). This debut follows years of policy negotiations and comes amid declining global sales for Tesla. While the premium pricing places Tesla in competition with German luxury brands rather than local automakers, analysts say its presence could accelerate India’s EV ecosystem development. The launch follows India’s recent reduction of EV import taxes to 15% for manufacturers committing to local production within three years.
