Tesla plugs into India: Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru supercharging stations on fast track

American electric vehicle maker Tesla plans to expand its supercharging network in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai and Bengaluru as it prepares to start deliveries in India by September, a senior company official told PTI on Monday.

The company, which opened its second experience centre in India at Aerocity in the national capital, will set up supercharging stations in Gurugram and Noida, besides another in Saket, Tesla Regional Director for South East Asia Isabel Fan said at the launch event.

Tesla had opened its first experience centre in Mumbai last month, along with the launch of its Model Y, priced from ₹59.89 lakh. Delhi and Mumbai are priorities for the company, Fan said, adding that the Gurugram supercharging station will open in the coming weeks, followed by facilities in Saket (South Delhi) and Noida.


In the Mumbai region, Tesla is planning supercharging stations in Lower Parel, Navi Mumbai and Thane, in addition to the existing one at Bandra Kurla Complex, she said.

"The other new market, new states... We cannot miss Bangalore very soon," Fan said, adding, "we don't commit five-year plan that we cannot deliver. So whatever we share is a commitment in the upcoming (period)." Fan also said the company will soon introduce mobile service, remote diagnostics, a service centre and a Tesla Approved Collision Centre in India.
