Tesla has officially marked its entry into the Indian automobile market by launching its first experience centre in Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), Mumbai. Alongside the launch, the company has also introduced the much-awaited Model Y, with bookings now open across two variants.

The showroom in Mumbai is Tesla’s first physical presence in India, and another centre is expected to open soon in Delhi NCR, though the date hasn’t been revealed yet.

Isabelle Fan, Director of Tesla Southeast Asia, was present at the Mumbai launch, where she posed alongside the Model Y—an SUV that has earned the title of best-selling car globally in 2023 and 2024. The vehicle will be imported from Tesla’s factory in China, and company officials shared that its cutting-edge tech and top-tier performance continue to make it a standout in the EV market.

While the base model of the Model Y will be delivered starting this quarter, the long-range rear-wheel drive variant is set for rollout in the next quarter. Officials also mentioned that the response to bookings has been promising, with early signs of strong demand in India.

To ensure a seamless experience for early adopters, Tesla is working on setting up a robust charging infrastructure in Mumbai and Delhi-NCR before the first batch of deliveries.

Initially, Tesla cars will be registered in Mumbai, Delhi, and Gurugram. The company has already onboarded the necessary sales and service teams to support operations in India.

With this debut, Tesla is not just bringing its vehicles to Indian roads, but also laying the foundation for a larger electric mobility ecosystem that blends innovation, sustainability, and luxury.
