LIVE: Tesla's India Debut Hits a Speed Bump as Inventory Piles Up | Vantage With Palki Sharma | N18G

Tesla’s entry into India has seen slower-than-expected sales, with reports saying the company is offering incentives of up to ₹2 lakh on select Model Y variants during showroom visits and test drives. Tesla imported around 300 Model Y SUVs into India last year, and nearly 100 are reportedly still unsold after almost four months. The Model Y is fully imported, with duties in India that can reach 110%, pushing prices into the premium segment, starting near $70,000. Data shows Tesla registered 227 vehicles in India in 2025. Globally, Tesla delivered 1.64 million vehicles in 2025, while BYD sold 2.26 million.
