Tesla Model Y bookings open now: How to get the Tesla Model Y in Delhi, Gurugram or Mumbai

Tesla Model Y bookings open now: How to get the Tesla Model Y in Delhi, Gurugram or Mumbai

Time of Indiaa day ago
Tesla, under Elon Musk, has switched on the lights in India. Its first official showroom, a 4,000-square-foot space inside Maker Maxity Mall at Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai, opened its doors with two Model Y units standing tall under bright lights.
Last Friday, Tesla's India handle teased its arrival with a simple post on X: 'Coming soon.' Now it's here. This is Tesla's first real attempt to crack the Indian market, a plan years in the making, nudged forward by a new EV policy that makes import duties less brutal — though they're still high.
Prices aren't shy. The standard rear-wheel drive version kicks off at Rs 59.89 lakh. Want more range? The long-range variant comes in at Rs 67.89 lakh. That's a chunk above what Americans pay, thanks to India's 70–110% import duties. Bloomberg points out the gap: the Indian price is about a third higher than in the US, federal tax credits not included.

A long wait for delivery
You can put money down today, but don't expect the car outside your house tomorrow. Deliveries begin after September 2025. Tesla will use the next few months to wrap up regulatory paperwork, fix the last-mile logistics and get its after-sales network in place.
The Mumbai showroom opened hot on the heels of Tesla's regulatory nod from the Andheri RTO. A trade certificate landed on 11 July, giving Tesla the green light to test-drive and sell its cars here.
Live Events
Shanghai to India: A straight drive
The Model Y units in India come straight from Tesla's Shanghai factory. Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy confirmed that for now, there's no plan to build Teslas in India. All eyes will be on whether that changes, depending on how big the demand turns out to be.
Next Up: Delhi and Gurugram
After Mumbai, the capital gets its turn. Tesla plans its second showroom in Delhi soon, followed by Gurugram. These three cities cover India's biggest urban EV prospects for now.
Tesla also promises India its next-gen V4 Superchargers. Expect four charging hubs in Delhi to start with, housing sixteen Superchargers. These chargers promise a 267-km top-up in 15 minutes — a solid pitch for anyone worried about range.
How to book your Tesla: What you need to know
If you've waited this long for a Tesla badge on your driveway, booking is simple. Head to Tesla's website, pick 'India & English' in the region settings, then hit 'Order Now'.
You'll choose between two variants:
Model Y RWD: Claimed range of 500 km (WLTP)
Model Y Long Range RWD: Up to 622 km (WLTP)
Registration is open for Delhi, Gurugram and Mumbai. Depending on your city, prices shift. For example, Gurugram adds road tax, while Delhi and Mumbai skip it.
Paint it your way
Six paint jobs are on offer. Stealth Grey is standard, so you pay nothing extra. Want something flashier?
Pearl White Multi-Coat and Diamond Black: Rs 95,000 extra
Glacier Blue: Rs 1.25 lakh
Quicksilver and Ultra Red: Rs 1.85 lakh each
Inside, you pick an all-black theme or spend Rs 95,000 for a black and white cabin.
Self-driving dreams cost extra
Fancy full self-driving? It's not cheap — Rs 6 lakh extra. But for Tesla loyalists, it's part of the appeal.
Run the numbers and your Model Y can cost anywhere from Rs 61 lakh on-road to around Rs 78 lakh fully loaded, including paint, interior, FSD, GST, TCS and other fees.
The booking amount is Rs 22,220 — non-refundable. Within seven days, you'll have to top that up to Rs 3 lakh to lock it in. Pay by card, UPI QR or UPI Collect. Once that's done, it's a waiting game until late 2025.
Tesla enters India just as its global sales hit a speed bump. Between April and June this year, worldwide deliveries fell 13%, partly due to backlash over Elon Musk's political views. India is now a fresh playground for Tesla's ambitions.
Tesla's India adventure rides on more than sales. It also tests how far a country can go to push EV adoption without home-grown production. For now, the cars come from Shanghai. Whether that changes depends on how many people here think the Model Y is worth the price — and the wait.
