After various rumors and reports, Tesla is finally arriving in the Indian market. The company is bringing its popular electric vehicles to the region soon, with a fresh report revealing the major cities where these cars would make their Indian debut. So let’s check it out.
Tesla’s first showroom might be in BKC, Mumbai
The American EV maker is reportedly planning on opening its first showrooms in both Mumbai and Delhi, two metropolitan cities in India (Via MySmartPrice). Tesla has even secured a 4,000 square foot space on the ground floor of the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai. This showroom will host Tesla’s official Indian debut. After the Mumbai reveal, the brand also has plans to open another flagship showroom in Delhi’s Aerocity.
Unfortunately, the exact region of the Delhi showroom is still unclear. This news also arrives after Elon Musk (Tesla CEO) met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Tesla apparently has plans to make its EVs more affordable in India. While its cheapest Tesla Model 3 starts from 40,000 US Dollars, rumors hinted at the brand working on a 25,000 US Dollar model for the Indian market. This roughly translates to about 22,00,000 INR (or 22 lakh INR).
With Tesla entering the Indian EV segment, the entire industry can expect a big impact with the brand bringing cutting edge technology like the autopilot feature. Although, it remains to be seen how the company implements most of these features. Tesla is expected to be planning local manufacturing and could be in talks with the Indian government. But the initial models would likely be imported from China.
