Tesla In India: Shocking Numbers in November!
Moreover, Tesla’s absence of a local manufacturing unit continues to affect its competitive edge against other electric vehicle brands
By: Tupaki Desk | 10 Nov 2025 5:28 PM ISTAmerican car manufacturer, Tesla recently entered the Indian market amidst a lot of anticipation. However, the returns have been very nominal and perhaps even under the expectations for this electrical car manufacturer.
Tesla’s sales performance in India during October showed a noticeable decline compared to the previous month. The company sold only 40 cars in October, a drop from 64 units sold in September.
This brings the total number of Tesla cars sold in India so far to 104. While the numbers appear small, they still mark an important start for the American electric vehicle maker in one of the world’s largest automobile markets.
Industry experts believe the decline could be due to several factors such as limited availability, high import duties, and premium pricing that keeps Tesla vehicles out of reach for most Indian buyers.
Moreover, Tesla’s absence of a local manufacturing unit continues to affect its competitive edge against other electric vehicle brands that are already producing in India.
However, the company’s entry has sparked significant interest among Indian consumers, especially in the luxury EV segment. Reports suggest that Tesla is studying the Indian market closely and may finalize plans for a local factory soon.
If Tesla begins domestic production and introduces more affordable models, its sales figures could see a sharp rise in the coming months. For now, the brand remains in an early but promising phase in India’s electric revolution.
