After months of speculation and anticipation, Tesla is finally back on track for its much-awaited launch in India. The American electric vehicle giant is gearing up to introduce several of its popular models in the Indian market, with plans to set up dealerships across the country.
Tesla’s entry into India has been a rollercoaster ride. The company registered its India arm, Tesla India Motors and Energy Pvt Ltd, in Bengaluru back in January 2021. Since then, there have been numerous ups and downs, but recent developments suggest that Tesla is serious about making a mark in the Indian market.
The American giant is expected to launch six models in India over the next couple of years. These include the Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, Cybertruck, and Model 2. Prices for these models are expected to range from INR 45 lakh to INR 2 crore. The Tesla Model 3 is set to be the most affordable option, while the Cybertruck will be the priciest.
Elon Musk’s company is actively looking for dealerships and service centers across India. The company is in talks with several state governments to set up its research and development facilities and service centers. Mumbai’s Lower Parel area has been identified as a potential location for Tesla’s first office and retail store in India.

India’s growing market for electric vehicles (EVs) is a major draw for the EV manufacturer. With the government’s push for cleaner and greener transportation, the EV giant’s entry could be a game-changer. The company’s cutting-edge technology and innovative features are expected to appeal to the tech-savvy Indian consumers.
Tesla is expected to commence its operations in India in the coming months. The first product to be offered to Indian buyers could be the Model 3, with other models following soon after. Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, has shown real intent regarding the company’s expansion into India, and it seems like the wait is finally over.
Indian consumers are eagerly awaiting the company’s arrival. The prospect of owning a Tesla, known for its sleek design, advanced technology, and eco-friendly features, has generated a lot of excitement. Many are already planning to be among the first to get their hands on a Tesla.
