Tesla’s India pit stop: 20 Superchargers, 7 centres

Tesla has installed 20 Superchargers and opened a new Tesla-Approved Body Shop in Ahmedabad, India, as part of its expansion of charging and after-sales services across major cities. Tesla India Country Head Sharad Agarwal announced the company's continued infrastructure development to support customers in the country. This is the seventh body shop and service centre that Tesla has established in India, joining facilities in Gurgaon, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, and Mumbai.

The Ahmedabad facility offers body and collision repair services using genuine Tesla parts and trained technicians, providing local repair and after-sales support for Tesla owners in Ahmedabad and Gujarat. Tesla vehicles typically require minimal scheduled maintenance, with many issues being addressed remotely. The company operates 24/7 service assistance and emphasizes the limited need for physical visits to workshops.

Agarwal highlighted the growing confidence in the Indian market, building the body shop and service network to reassure customers. Tesla currently offers two variants of the Model Y in India, priced at Rs 51.89 lakh and Rs 61.99 lakh, respectively. The company also introduced a financing program, allowing customers to purchase a vehicle with a down payment of Rs 6 lakh and monthly payments starting at Rs 39,990.

Tesla utilizes a direct-to-consumer model, enabling customers to order vehicles nationwide and receive delivery to their homes. So far, Tesla has delivered vehicles to customers in 21 states across India.
