Tesla reportedly plans to launch its first EVs in India by April 2025 Tesla’s first showrooms may be in Delhi’s Aerocity and Mumbai’s BKC The company has begun hiring for key roles in India operations Advertisement Elon Musk's Tesla has long been rumoured to foray into India's electric vehicle (EV) market but has faced several hurdles related to localised factory investments, regulations, and high taxes. It has previously lobbied for policy incentives as well as lower import duties. Now, a recent report suggests that the US-based company could finally be gearing up to bring its fleet of EVs to the country, beginning with several imported models being introduced as soon as April. It is also said to have finalised locations for the first two Tesla showrooms in the country, with Delhi and Mumbai likely to have been selected. Citing industry sources, CNBC TV18 reports that the initial batch of EVs which Tesla plans to sell in India will primarily consist of vehicles imported from its Berlin plant. It is said to target a price tag of under $25,000 (roughly Rs. 22 lakh) for the first Tesla car in the country, a move in line with the company's plans of introducing affordable EVs facing competition from the likes of BYD in the global markets. Notably, the Tesla Model 3 is currently its most affordable model, with a base price of $40,000 (roughly Rs. 35 lakh).
