This comes after Tesla entered the Indian market with its first store in Mumbai last month.

The construction for the new Tesla showroom, which is targeted to tap Delhi and the National Capital Region, is almost complete.

Earlier on Monday, Tesla launched its first charging facility at Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex, weeks after its store opened there, reported ANI news agency.

Tesla’s entry in India

On July 15 this year, Tesla officially entered the Indian market after months of speculation with its first store in Maharashtra’s Mumbai. It also launched its Model Y electric vehicle in India, with its price starting from ₹60 lakh (approximately $70,000) for its debut in the world’s third-largest automobile market.

Tesla’s Model Y

With its Mumbai launch, Tesla initially offered two versions of the Model Y in India. One is the rear-wheel drive model priced at ₹60.1 lakh ($70,000) and the long-range variant at ₹67.8 lakh ($79,000).

These prices are significantly higher than other global markets. The same Model Y is priced at ₹38.6 lakh ($44,990) in the US, ₹30.5 lakh ($36,700) in China (263,500 yuan), and ₹46 lakh ($53,700) in Germany (€45,970). This huge disparity in costs is mostly because of India’s steep import duties.

The Rear-Wheel Drive version of Model Y offers a 500 km range and will be able to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 59 seconds. The Long Range Rear-Wheel one offers a range of 622 km and will go from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds.

Apart from their speeds, other features of both the versions of Model Y include 9 speakers, a 15.4-inch front-row touch screen and second-generation suspension noise reduction hardware.
