Inaugurates Tesla showroom as Tesla officially enters India
Mumbai, July 15 : Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis expressed confidence during the inauguration of Tesla’s Experience Centre that Maharashtra will become the state with the highest electric-vehicle (EV) manufacturing capacity in India.
World-renowned EV manufacturer Tesla has entered the Indian market. Their first Experience Centre in India—based in Mumbai—was inaugurated by CM Fadnavis, with Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik, Principal Secretary/CEO Kaustubh Dhavse, and Tesla representatives also present.
CM Fadnavis said this was momentous for Maharashtra and Mumbai, as "the world’s smartest car" arrives in India, and officially starts here under central government support. The Mumbai centre is not just an Experience Centre but also a delivery location, logistics and service unit. Bookings for Tesla cars have also begun here.
Tesla’s global bestseller, the Model Y, has been launched in India today. According to the CM: it charges in about 15 minutes, covers up to 600 km on a single charge, produces zero emissions, and is globally acclaimed for its safety features.
The state government has implemented a dynamic policy to promote EVs, offering special incentives in charging infrastructure, tax exemptions, and manufacturing. The CM believes Maharashtra will lead India’s EV industry in the near future. After Mumbai, services will expand to two more Indian cities, and in Mumbai alone four large charging hubs and 32 charging stations are being set up.
