Strategic Charging Infrastructure Expansion
Tesla India General Manager Sharad Agarwal revealed plans to develop charging infrastructure covering all major cities, built around customer lifestyles—where they eat, work, and go for staycations. This customer-centric approach addresses one of the primary concerns for EV adoption: charging accessibility and convenience.
| Infrastructure Element | Current Status |
|---|---|
| Operational Supercharger Stations | 3 (Delhi & Mumbai) |
| Upcoming Station | 1 (Gurugram) |
| Total Stations | 4 across India |
| Total Superchargers | 16 units |
| Destination Chargers | 10 units |
| Experience Centres | 3 (Mumbai, Delhi Aerocity, Gurugram) |
| Supercharger Type | V4 Superchargers |
Model Y Sales and Market Performance
Tesla has started delivering the Model Y in India with the Rear-Wheel Drive variant starting at ₹59.89 lakh and Long Range RWD at ₹67.89 lakh. The company emphasizes that buyers can recover nearly one-third of the vehicle’s cost in four to five years through lower fuel and maintenance expenses.
| Model Y Variant | Price | Battery | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rear-Wheel Drive | ₹59.89 lakh | 64 kWh | Up to 500 km |
| Long Range RWD | ₹67.89 lakh | 84.2 kWh | Up to 661 km |
According to FADA data, Tesla sold 104 vehicles in September and October, with 118 cars registered in India in 2025, including 40 units in October. While these numbers are modest, they represent Tesla’s initial foothold in one of the world’s fastest-growing automotive markets.
Environmental Mission and Urban Air Quality
Agarwal emphasized that improving air quality in heavily polluted cities like Delhi and Mumbai requires a strong push toward electric mobility. He highlighted Tesla’s global environmental impact, stating that the company has delivered more than 8 million cars worldwide, helping reduce carbon emissions by 32 million tonnes.
Partnership-Driven Destination Charging
Tesla is partnering with hotels and other establishments to offer destination charging for guests, creating a comprehensive charging ecosystem that extends beyond proprietary supercharger stations. This collaborative approach accelerates infrastructure development while minimizing capital investment requirements.
Both Model Y variants are imported from Shanghai and attract over ₹21 lakh in duties under India’s 70% tariff on fully built EVs priced below $40,000, making Indian prices significantly higher than in the US, China, and Europe. Tesla has not announced local assembly plans despite this tariff disadvantage.
