Tesla is preparing to strengthen its India footprint by developing a full electric-vehicle ecosystem, including chargers, service facilities and customer support centres, to make EV ownership smoother for buyers.
After launching two imported versions of the Model Y earlier this year, the company has delivered just over 100 units so far. Industry sources say Tesla now wants to expand its network before scaling up sales. The plan includes installing home chargers, partnering with malls and hotels for public charging points, and setting up supercharger hubs in major cities.
The company is also looking at improving after-sales services, ensuring that customers have accessible maintenance and support options, a key concern for EV buyers in India.
Tesla is yet to finalise plans for local manufacturing, but officials say building a strong ecosystem is its immediate priority. The company believes that better infrastructure can encourage more Indians to switch to electric cars, especially in large urban markets.
Tesla’s move comes as India pushes for faster EV adoption to cut pollution and reduce oil dependency. The company expects that a reliable charging network will help build confidence among potential buyers and boost long-term demand for its cars.
