Tesla supports its customers through experience centres in Gurugram, Mumbai, and Delhi, along with a growing charging network that includes around 12 Superchargers and 10 Destination Chargers. Fast-charging capability allows up to 267 km of range in just 15 minutes, enhancing usability for long-distance travel.
Tesla’s India entry coincides with rapid growth in the country’s EV ecosystem. In 2025, electric vehicles accounted for about 8% of new vehicle registrations, with total EV sales touching 2.3 million units. According to the India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA), two-wheelers and three-wheelers continue to dominate volumes, while electric cars are steadily expanding their footprint.
Although Tesla’s volumes remain limited for now, industry watchers believe that any future move toward local assembly could sharply improve affordability and unlock higher sales in India’s fast-evolving electric car market.
