Tesla Car Offer: Elon Musk's car company Tesla has also started EMI option to increase its sales in India. Also, the company is giving a discount of Rs 3 lakh on bringing old petrol-diesel cars.
New Delhi. American electric vehicle company Tesla has made a big announcement to increase its reach in the Indian market. The company has said that there is an opportunity for Indian customers to buy Tesla cars on EMI. Apart from this, a discount of Rs 3 lakh will also be given on exchanging old petrol or diesel cars. After these two offers, it is believed that the sales of Tesla cars may increase in the country. Currently, these cars are very expensive, which makes them out of reach of common customers.
Tesla India said on Tuesday that several initiatives including monthly installment plan (EMI) are being launched to accelerate sales in India. Customers switching to electric vehicles are being given an incentive of up to Rs 3 lakh on exchange of petrol and diesel vehicles. Apart from this, customers will now be able to buy these cars on EMI, which will also be within the reach of common customers.
How much down payment-how much EMI
Tesla has said that customers can now buy Tesla Model Y at installments (EMI) starting from Rs 49,000 per month. For this only initial payment of Rs 6 lakh will have to be made. Tesla India started supplying this model in India in September 2025. According to data released by FADA, an organization of vehicle dealers, Tesla sold 225 units in India last year.
Tesla sales are still low
Overall, retail sales of electric passenger vehicles in the country last year stood at 1,76,817 units, which is 77 percent more than 99,875 units in the year 2024. By using Tesla Model Y, customers can save up to Rs 20,000 every month due to reduction in fuel and maintenance costs. This is what the company claims. Now it remains to be seen how much Tesla's share in total e-vehicle sales will increase after EMI and discounts.
What is the price of Model Y in India?
Tesla has launched three variants of Model Y in India. In this, the ex-showroom price of Y rear-wheel drive has been kept at around Rs 59.89 lakh, while the ex-showroom price of the long range rear-wheel drive variant of Model Y is around Rs 67.89 lakh. Its top model which comes with complete self-driving, its ex-showroom price can go up to Rs 73.89 lakh.
