This strategic move underscores Tesla’s commitment to the Indian market and its focus on localizing quality assurance for its rapidly expanding EV portfolio. The center will focus on rigorous safety assessments, ensuring Tesla vehicles meet India’s evolving crash test norms.
Model Y Emerges as Tesla’s Flagship in India
The Tesla Model Y, launched recently in Mumbai, is positioned as the brand’s star offering in India’s electric mobility space. Known for its impressive EPA-rated range of 526 km and advanced safety features such as Automatic Emergency Braking and Blind-Spot Collision Warning, the Model Y addresses growing consumer demand for premium electric SUVs. With a price starting around Rs 59.89 lakh (ex-showroom), it is the first Tesla model to be officially sold in the country.

By establishing this collision center locally and delivering the Model Y, Tesla aims to boost India’s EV ecosystem through high safety standards and innovative technology. The move is expected to accelerate adoption of electric vehicles by reassuring buyers about vehicle reliability and performance in real-world conditions. This aligns with Tesla’s global vision of sustainable transport and reinforces its growing presence in India’s burgeoning EV market.
