Tesla Offers Targeted Model Y Discounts in India to Clear Unsold Imports

Buyer-specific deals follow booking cancellations that left a sizable share of the first shipment without takers.

Overview

  • Tesla is offering discounts of up to ₹200,000 on select Model Y variants in India, according to reports citing people familiar with the plans.
  • The offers are being extended directly to prospective customers and test-drive seekers rather than as a nationwide promotion.
  • Roughly 100 of about 300 Model Y SUVs imported in late 2025 remain unsold several months after arrival, Bloomberg reported.
  • Registrations reached 217 between September and December as early bookings were withdrawn and interest in the entry model lagged.
  • High import duties push the starting price to about $70,000, and Tesla’s India site lists no inventory while new configurations show 2–10 week delivery windows.
