TESLA TO BEGIN DELIVERIES IN INDIA BY AUGUST – MODEL Y ARRIVES AMID SALES SLUMP
• FIRST SHOWROOM TO OPEN IN MUMBAI
• CUSTOMERS CAN CONFIGURE & ORDER STARTING NEXT WEEK
Tesla is officially entering the Indian market with its first showroom opening in Mumbai this month. Deliveries of the Model Y RWD, imported from China, are expected to begin in late August. Despite global sales slowing, India—now the world’s third-largest auto market—offers a fresh opportunity.
The Model Y, valued at ₹2.7M ($31,988), will carry an import duty of ₹2.1M under India’s current tax structure. While Tesla has not committed to manufacturing locally, the company is already preparing a second showroom in New Delhi.
This move comes as Tesla eyes demand beyond its traditional markets, betting big on India’s growing appetite for electric mobility.
