Tesla Showroom Opens in Mumbai, Prices Vary Across Indian States

Tesla, the electric-vehicle car company co-founded by Elon Musk, has opened its first showroom in India in Mumbai's business district of Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). The showroom marks a significant milestone in the company's expansion plans in India. However, the prices of Tesla cars in India will be double that of in the USA, but prices vary across different Indian states due to varying state taxes and road taxes.

The prices of Tesla cars in India, particularly in the states of Delhi, Mumbai, and Gurugram, have raised eyebrows among potential buyers. As of now, registrations for Tesla Model Y cars are allowed only in these three Indian cities. Among these, cars registered in Gurugram will be the most expensive. For instance, the on-road price for Tesla's Model Y Rear Wheel Drive in Gurugram is Rs 66,76,831, while the long-range version costs Rs 75,61,021. In contrast, the same vehicle costs Rs 61,06,000 on the roads of Delhi and Rs 61,07,190 in Mumbai.
