Tesla Entry In India: Electric automaker Tesla is set to open its first showroom in India at Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex, having signed a lease agreement for a 4,000 square foot space on the ground floor. Media reports, including one by the Times of India, suggest that the tech billionaire Elon Musk-led automaker has finalised the deal to showcase its car models in its first venture to the subcontinent.
Previously, Tesla’s job postings for various roles in the subcontinent sparked strong speculation of the EV maker’s entry, which was long delayed due to contradictions between the automaker and the Indian government over manufacturing and import policies.
The Times of India report stated that Tesla is establishing a presence in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) with a 4,000 square foot showroom in a commercial tower. The electric car manufacturer will showcase its models at this location, paying a monthly lease rent of approximately Rs 900 per square foot, totalling around Rs 35 lakh. Tesla’s lease agreement spans five years.
