Tesla launches Model Y in India at ₹69.8 lakh, its costliest market, targeting premium EV buyers with a showroom in Mumbai.

• Prices in India are much higher than U.S., China, and Germany due to 70% import duties and levies.
• Competes with BMW, Mercedes, avoiding mass-market rivals Tata Motors and Mahindra in India’s small luxury EV segment.
• Full Self-Driving add-on costs ₹6 lakh; deliveries start Q3, with showroom launch guarded amid heavy media attention.
