Tesla Model Y India Deliveries Start – Imported From Shanghai
Tesla’s long-awaited entry into the Indian car market has turned heads as Model Y deliveries kick off across major cities in October 2025. Imported fully assembled from Tesla’s Shanghai plant, the Model Y brings world-class electric crossover tech and luxury as India’s premium EV segment heats up.

Tesla Model Y India Launch & Delivery: Cities, Timelines, and Customer Perks
Tesla began Model Y deliveries on September 29, 2025, barely three months after its launch. Early deliveries are prioritized for Mumbai, Delhi, Gurugram, and Pune, though online bookings are open nationwide. Every new owner gets a complimentary Tesla Wall Connector for rapid and seamless home charging, making EV ownership more convenient than ever. These cars land fully built (CBU) and attract high import duties, but buyers enjoy early access to Tesla’s showrooms, experience centers, and charging network rollouts in Mumbai and Delhi.
