Tesla has leased a 4,000 sq. ft. retail space in Kurla West, Mumbai, which will also function as a car service center. Currently, Tesla operates four offices in India — including an engineering hub in Pune, a registered office in Bengaluru, and a temporary office near BKC in Mumbai.

Ahead of the showroom opening, the company has already imported electric vehicles and equipment worth approximately $1 million (Rs 8.58 crore). This includes six EVs, mostly Model Y units, imported primarily from China and the United States. These imports were made despite the Indian government imposing a 70% import duty on foreign EVs.

In a broader strategy, Tesla is also reportedly planning to set up a manufacturing plant in India, further signaling its long-term commitment to the country’s growing EV market. (Maxim News)
