- In a move to broaden reach, the company has updated its website to support registration in every state and union territory, making Model Y available beyond the initial launch hubs.
Tesla is taking another bold step in its India journey by announcing the imminent opening of its second retail space, this time in New Delhi.
The new Tesla Experience Centre, set to open its doors on August 11 at the swanky Worldmark 3 complex in Aerocity, underscores Tesla’s accelerated efforts to engage directly with Indian customers and electrify the capital region—a crucial market for the country’s evolving EV landscape.
This latest showroom comes fast on the heels of Tesla’s Mumbai debut, which happened less than a month earlier, on July 15 at Maker Maxity mall in Bandra Kurla Complex.
The Mumbai grand opening was a high-profile affair, graced by Maharashtra’s Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who extended an invitation for Tesla to consider setting up R&D and manufacturing facilities within the state—raising hopes for deeper local engagement.
Premium appeal
Work on the Aerocity venue is nearly complete, with social media abuzz over sneak peeks of the centre’s slick design and premium appeal. Market insiders estimate the monthly rent for the new space at roughly Rs25 lakh, signaling Tesla’s confidence in India’s burgeoning luxury EV segment and commitment to a high-visibility presence.
At present, Tesla offers the Model Y in India, with a starting price of Rs59.89 lakh (ex-showroom). Two configurations are available: a standard rear-wheel drive powered by a 60 kWh battery, and a long-range rear-wheel drive with a 75 kWh battery, delivering a WLTP-certified range of 500 km and 622 km, respectively.
Early deliveries will prioritise buyers in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, and Gurugram, with each Model Y delivered straight to customers’ doorsteps aboard flat-bed trucks—a personalised touch befitting Tesla’s luxury status.
More ambitious plans on radar
In a move to broaden reach, the company has updated its website to support registration in every state and union territory, making Model Y available beyond the initial launch hubs.
Tesla also lists its advanced Full Self-Driving (FSD) package as a Rs6 lakh extra, though Indian buyers will need to wait for its official rollout in the country.
The debut of the Indian Tesla website synchronised with the Model Y’s launch, signaling the company’s readiness to scale up operations, even amid hurdles in local EV infrastructure and regulatory policy.
With a second flagship centre and expanded digital access, Tesla’s latest move marks a pivotal moment for the premium EV scene in India—and hints at even more ambitious plans on the horizon.
