Tesla will open its second showroom in India today (August 11), in the Worldmark 3 complex at Aerocity, New Delhi. This development follows the opening of the company's first Indian showroom in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex on July 15.
Tesla's India portfolio currently includes the Model Y electric SUV in two configurations. The standard Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) version is priced at Rs 59.89 lakh (ex-showroom), while the Long Range RWD variant is available at Rs 67.89 lakh (ex-showroom). Deliveries for both are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2025.
The Model Y standard RWD offers a claimed driving range of 500km per full charge, with an acceleration time of 0–100kmph in 5.9 seconds. The Long Range RWD increases range to 622 km and reaches 0–100kmph in 5.6 seconds. Both have a top speed of 201kmph.
Tesla imports the Model Y into India as a completely built unit (CBU). Import duties nearly double the retail price compared to global markets, making it one of the costlier EVs in the Indian segment.
For the Aerocity showroom, Tesla has leased about 8,200 square feet of space in Worldmark 3 under a nine-year agreement. The lease reportedly begins at Rs 17.22 lakh per month, with rent escalations scheduled every three years. The Mumbai facility spans about 4,000 square feet.
The New Delhi Experience Centre will function as both a display and customer interaction facility. Potential buyers will be able to view Tesla's vehicles, learn about specifications, and explore purchase and charging options.
Industry analysts see the Delhi showroom opening as a step towards Tesla expanding its retail network across major Indian cities. The company is expected to open more showrooms and service centres as part of its India strategy.
