US EditionMusk's Tesla marks formal India entry with Mumbai launch event
MUMBAI, MAHARASHTRA, JUL 11 – Tesla opens its first Indian showroom at Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex amid plans for Starlink internet launch, importing vehicles worth nearly $1 million, officials said.
- Tesla officially launched its first showroom in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex on July 15, 2025, marking its entry into India’s car market.
- Tesla’s entry follows years of regulatory challenges and high import duties, with the government recently reducing import tariffs from 110% to 15% for EVs over $35,000.
- Tesla imported nearly US$1 million worth of vehicles, accessories, and chargers into India from China and the US between January and June 2025 ahead of the launch.
- The first Tesla car in India will be the Model Y, imported from its Berlin Gigafactory, targeting premium buyers with prices around ₹70 lakh ex-showroom.
- Although Tesla does not currently produce vehicles within India and has shown no plans to start manufacturing locally, its market entry could stimulate the growth of the country’s electric vehicle sector and encourage additional investment.
