Tesla Model Y Plugged In for Charging" > Tesla has officially entered the Indian market, opening its first-ever showroom in Mumbai and launching vehicle sales, nine years after CEO Elon Musk first floated the idea in 2016.

Tesla has opened its first showroom in India, marking the electric vehicle maker’s long-anticipated debut in the world’s third-biggest automotive market.

The entry marks a close to a long-winding, topsy-turvy journey around Tesla’s touted entry in India’s nascent and slowly growing EV market, after the company criticised India for having high import duties.
