Tesla is finally in India—and it’s not slowing down. After cutting the ribbon in Mumbai, the electric car giant is now opening a flagship showroom in Delhi’s Aerocity.
From Mumbai to Delhi
Tesla opened its first Indian showroom on July 15 in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). It’s not just a showroom—it’s an Experience Centre where people can see, touch, and test drive the Model Y, Tesla’s hero product. The launch drew attention from auto fans, influencers, and future EV buyers.
Now, Tesla is gearing up for its next big move.
Delhi Gets a Tesla Showroom
According to industry insiders, Tesla has signed a lease for a 4,000-square-foot space in Aerocity, near Indira Gandhi International Airport. The spot is part of the Worldmark complex, owned by Brookfield Asset Management. The area is home to top hotels, big businesses, and luxury retail brands.
The showroom is expected to open later this month.
High Rent, High Stakes
The rent? Around Rs 25 lakh per month. That’s bold. But Tesla clearly wants to make a strong brand statement. This move signals Tesla’s plan to focus first on building visibility, not service operations just yet.
“This is a showroom, not a service centre,” a source told Reuters. So for now, it’s about hype, not hardware fixes.

Charging India’s Future
Tesla is already planning supercharger networks in key metro cities. In Delhi NCR, locations like Aerocity, Saket, Noida, and Gurugram are being scouted. In the Mumbai region, chargers are planned near BKC, and in Thane and Navi Mumbai. Bengaluru is also on the list.
The goal? Support early adopters and test the demand.
Jobs, Demos, and Deliveries
Tesla has listed 13 job openings in India across customer service and business roles. At the BKC showroom, test drives, demos, and VIP previews are already in full swing. Deliveries are expected by late August.
Tesla’s India Story So Far
Tesla had planned to enter India in 2021, but pulled back in 2022 after clashes over import duties. With tariffs as high as 70-100%, bringing fully built cars into India was too costly.
But things changed after Elon Musk met PM Modi during his US trip. They discussed mobility, technology, and possibly manufacturing in India.
For now, Tesla is watching. It’s setting up showrooms, testing interest, and waiting for policy shifts.
