The Tesla India entry marked a new beginning in the country's EV landscape, with the company's Model Y launched to compete against BYD Sealion 7 and BMW iX1 among others.

Tesla's much-awaited India debut came after long negotiations with the Indian government over pricing and import duties.

Tesla has launched its first showroom in India in the Bandra-Kurla Complex in Mumbai. The showroom, which is 4,000 square feet big, will not only provide an opportunity to buy a car, but it will also allow visitors to see Tesla's technology and features first-hand. For the time being, Tesla will sell the Model Y from this location.
