The American company Tesla that deals with the manufacturing of electric vehicles (EVs) has increased its influence in India by launching its second major product range called Tesla Model Y L which comes in three-row form with six seats. The price of Tesla Model Y L is set at Rs. 61.99 lakh.
The Model Y L features a unique 2+2+2 seating layout and boasts a claimed WLTP-certified range of up to 681 km, with the ability to sprint from 0-100 kph in just 5.0 seconds. With this addition, Tesla’s India portfolio now ranges from ₹59.89 lakh to ₹67.89 lakh.
Building a Strong Foundation
Tesla India General Manager, Sharad Agarwal, emphasized that the company is focused on building a complete ecosystem rather than just selling cars. “We are building block by block the very strong foundation for the business and the brand in the future,” Agarwal stated at the launch.
Tesla has been able to deliver its cars to customers from 21 states since the commencement of deliveries in September 2025. Tesla has its experience centers located in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Gurugram. There is also an operational service center in Pune.
Expanding Service and Charging Networks
During the current quarter, Tesla plans to expand its service and bodyshop network to Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Ahmedabad. Agarwal highlighted Tesla’s unique service approach, where software diagnostics allow many issues to be fixed remotely, providing customers with “peace of mind.”
Infrastructure is also a top priority. Tesla has already enabled five Supercharger stations, including its first mall-based facility at Nexus Seawoods in Navi Mumbai. The next phase involves creating “charging corridors” on key highways to connect cities like Delhi, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Pune, Bengaluru, and Chennai.
While high import duties keep volumes niche for now, Tesla is already looking toward its next phase: entering India’s industrial energy storage segment. By combining home charging capabilities across 28 states with a rapidly growing public network, Tesla aims to mirror its success in markets like China, ensuring its infrastructure matches the lifestyle and demands of Indian customers.
