Tesla’s Delhi showroom space update

Sources said that the Delhi showroom space finalised by Tesla is around 4000 sq ft and the rent is around ₹25 lakh per month.

Brookfield Properties did not respond to HT.com’s query.

In April 2023, Bharti Enterprises Limited (BEL) had transferred its 51% stake (held in Rostrum Realty) to Brookfield Group. In June 2024, Bharti Enterprises Limited (BEL) transferred its remaining stake (held in Rostrum Realty) to Brookfield India Real Estate Trust (sponsored by the Brookfield Group).

Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Tesla CEO Elon Musk in the United States last month and discussed matters including space, mobility and technology.

Sources familiar with the matter, cited in a Reuters report published earlier, had said that Tesla has been looking for showroom spaces in India since late last year in order to start sales in the world’s third biggest auto market, after pausing market entry plans in 2022.

Tesla had also posted job ads last month for 13 mid-level roles in India, including some store and customer relationship managers.

Tesla could not be reached for a comment.
