Elon Musk's Tesla opens first showroom in India: Here's how much the Model Y will cost you…
Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk's Tesla is selling its Model Y cars in India starting at about $69,770, its website showed on Tuesday, as the electric car maker prepared to open its first showroom in the financial capital of Mumbai. India is the world's third largest car market, although electric vehicles comprise a very small slice, as concerns about easy accessibility of charging infrastructure deter many affluent buyers from going electric. As Tesla gears up for busy roads still ruled by cars fuelled by diesel and petrol, it will go head-to-head primarily with German luxury giants like BMW and Mercedes-Benz in the premium EV segment. Among India's mass-market players are Tata Motors and Mahindra. Police guarded the showroom, with the brand's name etched in black against a stark white wall, where the car, draped in black and grey covers was partially visible on Tuesday through the glass in a gated office complex. With access tightly controlled, few onlookers or fans lingered near the premises. Musk has long eyed an entry in India, the world's most populous country and where the rich are splurging on everything from apartments to watches and jewellery, even bathrooms. India aims to boost the share of EVs in domestic car sales to 30% by 2030, from 4% now, offering tax cuts to foreign automakers committing to some domestic production. That proved to have limited appeal to Musk, although the efforts were partly designed to lure Tesla. Tesla's opening coincides with a pre-booking campaign in India launched by Vinfast for its electric sports utility vehicles VF7 and VF6. Tesla is selling the Model Y rear-wheel drive for 6 million rupees ($70,000) in cash, and its Model Y long-range rear-wheel drive at 6.8 million ($79,000). The U.S. selling price starts from $44,990, while in China it is 263,500 yuan ($36,700) and in Germany 45,970 euros ($53,700). (With inputs from Reuters)

Mercedes-Benz cars in India to be more expensive from September, up to a 1.5% price hike on cards
Mercedes-Benz cars will be costlier again in September 2025. Check Offers Mercedes-Benz India is mulling the plan to slap a price hike on its cars that would be effective from September 2025. The German luxury car manufacturer is expected to increase the pricing of its cars by up to 1.5 per cent right ahead of the festive season. The automaker has hinted that this price hike would be a move to mitigate the impact of a weak rupee against the euro. Interestingly, this is going to be the third price hike for the OEM as Mercedes-Benz has already increased prices of its cars twice this year, first in January and then in July. Speaking to news agency PTI, Mercedes-Benz India's MD and CEO, Santosh Iyer, has expressed hope that despite the price hike, the reduction in interest rates will somehow balance the monthly outgo for the consumers in equated monthly instalments (EMIs). "There is another price hike coming up in September, because of the euro. If you see, the last one month has remained at the 100 mark (INR), and that has not changed. Therefore, we will have to undertake an increase as well in September," Iyer further said. The Mercedes-Benz official also stated that around 80 per cent of the company's new car sales are financed. "So, when you look at the EMIs, we have tried to keep the same, though the price of the car has gone up. So, that helps us to mitigate the impact of price increase to a large extent," Iyer added. He also noted that there is still demand in the market, and with the economy growing, people will like to buy luxury cars. Buyers understand that prices are beyond the control of the company, considering the currency fluctuation, he said. When asked if the company is facing production issues due to rare earth magnets, Iyer said that the company is not yet affected by the supply chain disruption. 'We also have sufficient stocks with us, so we are able to navigate and manage it," he added. Iyer also noted that the company's growth could be flat this year due to ongoing geopolitical issues and other challenges. He said that while the overall passenger vehicle market has been growing by two-three per cent, the luxury car segment has seen higher growth at around five-six per cent this year. "Of course, one would love much higher growth rates, but considering what's happening worldwide geopolitically, I think growth in the automotive industry by itself is a positive sign as such," Iyer stated.
