After four long years of anticipation, Tesla has officially rolled into India, marking a major milestone in the country’s electric vehicle (EV) journey. The iconic EV brand, led by Elon Musk, has made its Indian debut with the launch of its popular midsize SUV - the Tesla Model Y - finally putting an end to years of speculation and wait among Indian car enthusiasts.
The company has introduced two variants of the Model Y:
🔹 Tesla Model Y RWD (Rear-Wheel Drive) priced at ₹59.89 Lakh
🔹 Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD priced at ₹67.89 Lakh
Alongside the vehicle launch, Tesla is also offering its dedicated home charging unit for Indian customers, priced at $420 (approximately ₹35,000), adding convenience for those looking to adopt EV technology without compromise.
The historic launch event took place in Mumbai, where Tesla inaugurated its first-ever Indian showroom and experience centre in the prestigious Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) - a prime commercial hub that reflects Tesla’s premium brand positioning. The launch event saw the presence of dignitaries, including Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who welcomed Tesla with great enthusiasm.
Speaking at the event, CM Fadnavis said, “This is not just the inauguration of an experience centre, but a powerful statement - a declaration that Tesla has officially arrived in India, and it has chosen the right city and the right state. Tesla is not merely a car company. It symbolizes innovation, sustainability, and the future of mobility.”
Tesla’s entry into India signals not only a new era for EV adoption but also reinforces the country’s growing appeal as a market for cutting-edge global technologies. With increasing support from both government policies and consumer demand for clean transportation, Tesla’s arrival is expected to spark significant momentum in India’s green mobility transition.
The roads of India are about to get a lot quieter - and a lot smarter.
