Tesla India Showroom Launch: There is good news for people waiting for the cars of American electric car manufacturer Tesla. Tesla is going to start its first showroom in India from next month i.e. July. According to the report, Tesla’s first showroom in India (Tesla India Showroom) will be started at BKC, Mumbai. It is being told that the company has taken a property lease for its showroom in Mumbai and this will start the story of Tesla’s India Entry.
According to Bloomberg’s report, Tesla is to open its first showroom in Mumbai. After this, the company will turn towards the country’s capital and open its next showroom in Delhi. Tesla, led by Elon Musk, the world’s most rich man, is currently struggling with a huge decline in sales in Europe and China markets. This is the reason that Tesla is planning to enter the world’s third largest automobile market i.e. India as soon as possible.
Cars made in China reached India:
In media reports, sources have been quoted as saying that the first set of Tesla’s cars has reached India. The company’s famous electric SUV – Model Y (MODEL Y) has been sent from Tesla’s factory in China. Let me tell you that model is one of the best selling electric cars in the world and probably the company can start its journey in India with this car.
Tesla will open its first showroom in Mumbai in mid -July. It is also being said in the media report that the company has also imported supercharger components, car accessories, merchandise and spare from the US, China and the Netherlands. However, no official information has been shared by the company about this.
Khair, with this beginning, the long -standing speculation about Tesla’s entry into India will end. A market that Alan Musk had long monitored, but was delayed due to disagreement on subjects like tariff and local manufacturing plant.
How much will Tesla cost in India?
Initially, Tesla has imported a total of 5 units of its Model Y car to India from Shanghai, China. Bloomberg’s report quoted a document as saying that, the price of each model imported has been declared Rs 27.7 lakh (about 31,988 $ 3188) and they have been imposed an import duty of more than Rs 21 lakh. There is a provision to impose 70% import tax on fully imported cars priced below $ 40,000 in India.
There is no doubt that after imposing import duty on imported cars, the price of Tesla’s cars will be high. But initially the company is planning to start its business in India in this way. Recently, Tesla had taken out vacancy for different positions at some location of the country including Mumbai, Pune and Delhi.
