After Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Elon Musk during his U.S. visit, talks about Tesla’s entry into India have intensified. The company has already started working on setting up a plant and recruiting staff in the country. Tesla is expected to launch its cars in India this year, and a big update has now emerged regarding their availability and pricing. Reports suggest that in the initial phase, Tesla will sell its cars only in a few selected cities. The company aims to test the Indian market before expanding further. With increasing interest in electric vehicles, Tesla’s entry is expected to boost India’s EV sector. Customers are eagerly waiting for the official announcement on the launch date and pricing details.
Tesla to Launch in These Two Cities
After entering India, Tesla will initially start sales in just two cities before expanding further. According to reports, Tesla cars will first be available in Delhi and Mumbai. The company has selected two prime locations in these cities for its showrooms. Tesla’s first two showrooms in India are expected to open at Aerocity in Delhi and Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai. Aerocity is located near Delhi’s international airport, making it a strategic location for luxury brands. BKC is Mumbai’s top business and retail hub, attracting premium customers. Tesla’s decision to begin in these cities aligns with its strategy to target high-demand urban markets before expanding nationwide.
Tesla is eager to start its business in India as soon as possible. Reports suggest that the company will begin selling its cars in India from April this year. Initially, Tesla will import its vehicles and make them available for purchase. These cars will be imported from Berlin, Germany. Before launching in India, Elon Musk has done extensive research on Indian customers and continues to study the market. Keeping Indian buyers in mind, Tesla plans to offer its cars at a starting price of $25,000 (around ₹21 lakh). The company aims to tap into India’s growing electric vehicle market and understand customer preferences before setting up local production. Tesla’s entry is expected to boost the EV industry in India, offering more options to customers looking for premium electric cars. With increasing interest in sustainable transportation, Tesla’s arrival could be a game-changer for the Indian automotive sector.
