Tesla India Launch 2025
Tesla, led by Elon Musk, has officially launched its marketing in India — starting with an experience centre in Mumbai opening on July 15, 2025, and the eagerly awaited arrival of imported Model Y SUVs hitting the roads days before the debut. Here’s how this move could shock the market and shift the future of electric vehicles (EVs) in India.
Price Shock & Import Duties
Tesla has brought five rear-wheel-drive Model Y units, each valued at ₹27.7 lakh (approx. USD 31,988), into Mumbai. However, India’s high import duty on fully assembled cars (about 70%) pushes the expected retail price to over USD 56,000 (~₹46 lakh) — far price than U.S. prices (starting from USD 37,490). While the price tag may high in India’s relatively price-sensitive EV segment, early adopters and luxury consumers could still see value in global brand tech.
Strategic Roll-Out & Urban Focus
The Mumbai centre, located in the upscale Bandra‑Kurla Complex, will serve as Tesla’s first “store” in India. A Delhi showroom is also on the way. Deliveries aren’t expected until late August.

India’s EV market is growing very faster, but fully built-up imports make up only 5% of new car sales, while premium vehicles are under 2%. Tesla’s arrival could spark. Competitive on luxury EV segment pricing, Expansion of charging infrastructure is more important for EV customers, Increased brand visibility, inspiring confidence in other global EV brands to enter India.
Tesla’s India marketing marks a bold step into a market ripe for green disruption — but it’s entering with a luxury price tag. If future demand supports it, and the company adapts (e.g., moving to local manufacturing), it could redefine India’s EV landscape.
