Guess what just rolled into Mumbai with sleek curves and electric vibes? Yep, Tesla has officially entered India! On July 15, 2025, the EV powerhouse opened its very first showroom at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), and it wasn’t just another ribbon-cutting — Maharashtra’s CM Devendra Fadnavis did the honors! The star of the show? The Tesla Model Y, available in two cool flavors: Rear-Wheel Drive (₹59.89 lakh) and Long-Range RWD (₹67.89 lakh). Both variants flew in straight from Tesla’s Gigafactory in Shanghai — fancy, right? Deliveries kick off in late August, so if you’ve been dreaming of cruising silently through Indian traffic, your moment is near. Oh, and for the tech geeks: the Full Self-Driving (FSD) upgrade is yours for another ₹6 lakh. Sure, the prices are a bit spicy (blame those import duties), but the Tesla buzz is very real. Can’t make it to Mumbai? No stress — the next Tesla stop: Delhi NCR, coming this month!

Tesla Price Tag Turns Heads In India’s Luxury EV Market
Let’s talk price—because, yes, everyone is. Tesla’s Model Y has officially landed in India’s luxury EV arena with a starting price tag just shy of ₹60 lakh. Steep? Absolutely. But here’s the catch: those numbers aren’t just Tesla being Tesla—it’s the good ol’ import duties doing their thing (some soaring up to 110%). Since the cars come straight from Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory, there’s no local production just yet—though there’s plenty of buzz about it. Sure, it’s pricier than rivals like BYD and VinFast, but hey, it’s Tesla. And for many, that nameplate alone might be worth the spark.
Tesla Expands With Showroom In Mumbai, Delhi To Follow Soon
Tesla opened its first Indian showroom in Mumbai and confirmed a second one in Delhi NCR by late July 2025. The “Experience Centre” at BKC offers walk-ins, test drives, and bookings. The company plans to launch superchargers and service support in phases, starting with Mumbai. A service center in Kurla West is also in the pipeline. The Model Y is available for bookings online and in-store. Tesla focuses on delivering a smooth user experience while building local confidence. The next few months will be critical for Tesla’s brand visibility and operations in the Indian EV ecosystem.
