Tesla is set to launch its first full-fledged center in Gurugram, India, marking a significant strategic move to boost its presence in the country's expanding premium electric vehicle market. This development makes India the 50th global market for the automaker and aims to build on the early interest shown in its imported Model Y variants. Despite facing steep 70% import duties, Tesla sold over 100 vehicles in the first two months, signaling demand among luxury EV buyers. The Gurugram hub is a key step in building out customer infrastructure, following smaller experience facilities. This focus on India comes as Tesla navigates global challenges, including reduced demand in other key markets.
