Tesla has officially arrived in India with the launch of its first retail showroom in Mumbai. But if you're not in the city and still want to buy the Model Y, don’t worry — Tesla is accepting orders from across the country. Here's a simple guide to how the process works.
Tesla India's initial steps
On July 15, 2025, Tesla opened its first Indian showroom at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Mumbai. The company unveiled its Model Y Long Range, priced at Rs 54.9 lakh (ex-showroom).
While the physical showroom is currently only in Mumbai, Tesla has launched a countrywide system for booking and delivery.
How to Book a Tesla Model Y Online
You can book your Tesla from anywhere in India through their official website — www.tesla.in. Here’s what you need to do:
1) Choose the Model Y.
2) Pick your preferred colour, interiors, wheels, and features like Enhanced Autopilot.
3) Pay a Rs 2 lakh refundable booking fee online.
4) After you book, Tesla will assign a delivery advisor to help you with the next steps.

Documents, Loans, and Other Details
Once your booking is confirmed:
- Upload basic KYC documents — PAN card, Aadhaar, and address proof.
- If you want to finance the car, Tesla will connect you with partner banks and lenders. Loan interest rates currently start at around 8.5%.
It is pertinent to note that the Model Y doesn’t qualify for the FAME II EV subsidy due to its price. However, some states like Maharashtra and Gujarat offer road tax exemptions for electric vehicles.
