With delivery estimated to start from the third quarter, Tesla will drive on to India's busy roads, targeting a niche premium EV segment that accounts for just 4% of overall sales in the world's third-largest car market.

After a long, long wait, Tesla has finally arrived in India, opening its first showroom in Mumbai. Its Model Y, priced between Rs 61-69 lakh on-road, is up for sale. But can Indian customers afford Elon Musk’s EV?

The American electric vehicle maker will begin its stint in its 50th global market by importing and selling two versions of its popular Model Y cars

Tesla has imported $1 million worth of cars and merchandise, marking its entry into the world's third-largest car market despite CEO Elon Musk's complaints about high import tariffs.

Tesla unveiled its first showroom in India on Tuesday, marking its entry into the world's most populous country, as Elon Musk's electric vehicle company seeks new customers amid sagging sales in the United States and Europe.

According to the Tesla's website, Model Y will be introduced in two versions, including Rear-Wheel Drive and Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive.

The experts believe that although the arrival of Tesla may not bring a big jump in EV volumes immediately, it will change people's perception about EVs.
