Overview

• The first Model Y was delivered on September 5 at Tesla’s Mumbai BKC Experience Centre to Maharashtra transport minister Pratap Sarnaik, who said he bought it to promote EV awareness and plans to gift it to his grandson.
• Tesla says deliveries are starting across Delhi, Gurugram, Mumbai and Pune, with registrations and handovers currently limited to these cities.
• The Model Y is offered in two rear‑wheel‑drive variants priced at about ₹59.89 lakh and ₹67.89 lakh (ex‑showroom), with WLTP‑claimed ranges of roughly 500 km and 622 km.
• Tesla’s first Indian Superchargers went live at BKC on August 4, and the company has opened experience centres in Mumbai and Delhi to anchor its retail-first entry.
• Reported early demand stands near 600 bookings, and shipments for 2025 have been pared back to roughly 350–500 units due to steep import duties and softer uptake.
