The Tesla showroom in Mumbai will be located at Jio World Drive in BKC while a second showroom in Delhi will start operations by the end of July 2025
Tesla is all set to inaugurate its first experience centre in India on July 15, 2025. Located at Jio World Drive in Mumbai, it will be reserved for the VIPs and business partners in the first week while general public will be allowed from the next week. The American electric four-wheeler brand will open its second showroom in Delhi by the end of July 2025, confirmed sources. Tesla Model Y will be the first company car to go on sale in the Indian market. Needless to state, it will be sold as a full import from China.
Tesla is entering the Indian market at quite a crucial time as its global sales are dwindling. The Indian auto industry is the world’s third largest behind China and the United States of America. The experience centre at the BKC in Mumbai will offer the prospective buyers an insight of Tesla cars including pricing, variant info and configuration options.
Tesla will start taking pre-orders for the Model Y from next week while first deliveries are promised by the end of August 2025. A few leaked documents reveal that the first batch of rear-wheel-drive Model Y SUVs have already arrived in India from the brand’s factory in China. For reference, Tesla Model Y is the world’s best-selling electric car and it might well be the foremost reason why the company has selected it as the first Tesla to go on sale in India.

The Model Y imported from China has been valued at $32,270 (Around Rs 28 lakh). However, it is likely to be sold at a much higher price in India due to the 70 percent import duty which is levied on completely built units (CBUs) of electric cars with price below $40,000. It is estimated that after including all the surcharges, Tesla Model Y price in India will be even higher than its cost in the US which is $46,630 (Around Rs 40 lakh).
Tesla Model Y is a midsize electric SUV which comes with an array of bells and whistles in the form of Heated and ventilated seats, Power recline second-row seats, Hands-free automatic trunk, 15.4-inch central touchscreen infotainment system, 8-inch touchscreen for rear occupants, Blind Spot Monitoring, and over-the-air (OTA) updates.

Tesla claims that Model Y can achieve up to 293 km of charge in merely 15 mins by charging through its network of Superchargers. However, unlike the US where it has over 70,000 Superchargers, there is no such infrastructure in India right now. Though we have heard that the company has plans to establish the Supercharger network in India in a phase wise manner.
