July 15, 2025 10:33 IST Follow Us It’s a big day for the Indian automotive industry as Tesla finally enters the market today. The Elon Musk-led company is setting up its first showroom in the country today at Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai. This will be followed by a second showroom in Delhi sometime later this year. The Mumbai-based experience centre represents Tesla’s first physical footprint in India, following years of negotiations and a delayed market entry. Spanning 3,000 square feet and situated near India’s inaugural Apple Store, the sleek facility serves as a comprehensive hub where customers can explore Tesla’s electric vehicle range, including various models, features, and trim configurations. The showroom inauguration is most likely to be a grand affair with attendees including noted industrialists, celebrities, and politicians. However, the new Tesla experience centre will be thrown open for the general public only after a week. Previous reports have indicated that customers can start configuring and placing orders for their vehicles as early as next week, with deliveries anticipated to commence by the end of August. Tesla in India: Model Y launched The first Tesla to launch in India will be the Model Y, which is likely to be the brand’s mainstay in the country for the while. The company has already listed the battery-powered crossover in the India website which will be available in two variants — Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and Long Range All-Wheel Drive (AWD). Tesla Model Y prices out (Image: Tesla) The former is priced at Rs 59.89 lakh while the latter is available at Rs 67.89 lakh (both ex-showroom).
