Tesla sells two Model Y variants in India: the five-seat Premium Rear-Wheel Drive at ₹50.89 lakh ex-showroom, with a WLTP range of up to 500 km, and the six-seat Model Y L Premium AWD at ₹61.99 lakh, with up to 681 km. Tesla retailed just 291 cars in India in October 2026, according to FADA data reported by Autocar India, so it remains a small-volume brand. Prices and charging sites change, so check Tesla’s India website before you buy.

What does the Tesla Model Y cost in India?
According to Autocar India, Tesla launched the 2026 Model Y Premium Rear-Wheel Drive in May 2026 at ₹50.89 lakh ex-showroom. It replaced the Long Range Premium RWD, which was priced at ₹67.89 lakh. Customer deliveries of the new variant were due to begin in July 2026. Tesla’s India listing, as reported by Mint in October, still showed the same two prices. The table below summarises them.
| Variant | Seats | Ex-showroom price | WLTP range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model Y Premium RWD | 5 | ₹50.89 lakh | Up to 500 km |
| Model Y L Premium AWD | 6 | ₹61.99 lakh | Up to 681 km |
The gap between the two is ₹11.1 lakh. The L version is the long-wheelbase, three-row model that Tesla launched in India in April 2026, while the Premium RWD is the cheaper five-seater. Buyers comparing the two should weigh that gap against the extra space and range of the larger car.
What do you get for the money?
The Premium RWD uses a rear-mounted motor. Autocar India notes that Tesla rarely publishes battery and motor figures for India, but international-market versions pair a 64 kWh battery with a 299 hp motor. Tesla claims 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, a top speed of 201 km/h and up to 238 km of charge added in 15 minutes at a 175 kW Supercharger.
Inside, the entry variant now gets a 16-inch front touchscreen and an 8-inch screen for rear passengers. Tesla also lists a panoramic glass roof, ventilated front seats, a powered tailgate and seven airbags, with up to 2,138 litres of storage. Mint adds that both variants support Indian languages and Tesla’s Grok assistant. Tesla’s financing offers start with a ₹6 lakh down payment and EMIs from ₹39,990 for the RWD, or a ₹6.5 lakh down payment and EMIs from ₹49,990 for the L. Those figures assume a seven-year step-up loan at an 8.5% rate and depend on lender approval.
Is Tesla selling many cars in India?
Not yet. FADA data reported by Autocar India shows Tesla retailed 291 cars in October 2026, up from a very small base a year earlier. That placed it tenth among electric car brands, well behind Tata at 14,669 units, Mahindra at 8,538 and MG at 5,939. Autocar India’s table does not split Tesla’s total by model, but Tesla only sells the Model Y in India, so the figure is effectively a Model Y number. For the full ranking, see our guide to India’s October 2026 electric car sales.
Where can you charge and service a Tesla?
Tesla runs its own network, and as of April 2026 it had 20 Superchargers at five sites across Mumbai, Delhi and Gurugram, plus 14 destination chargers, according to Autocar India. The Supercharger rate is ₹24 per kWh and the 11 kW destination AC rate is ₹14 per kWh. Only Tesla customers can use these chargers at present, and there is no complimentary charging.
On the sales side, Tesla’s India website lists experience centres including Aerocity in Delhi, Sohna Road in Gurugram and a new store at Skymark One in Noida, which opened on October 9, 2026. Tesla also works with two collision-repair centres in Gurugram. Check Tesla’s live charging map and store list before you commit, because both keep expanding.
What does Full Self-Driving do in India?
Tesla charges ₹6 lakh for the optional Full Self-Driving package in India. Today it supports only automatic parking, because regulatory approvals for broader features are still pending, according to Autocar India. The standard safety kit already includes ADAS, surround-view cameras and seven airbags. If you are weighing the package, treat the extra features as a future possibility rather than something you can use now. That keeps the real cost of ownership closer to the ₹50.89 lakh sticker price.
