After the launch in India, 'hit' or 'fuss' turned out to be Tesla? Learn how many cars sold so far
Last updated:
Alan Musk's Tesla opened showrooms in Mumbai and Delhi, launched model Y, but got only 600 bookings in India. There are plans to send 350-500 cars from Shanghai.
New Delhi. There was a stir in the Internet and media when Alan Musk -led company Tesla, in July this year, opened its first showroom in Mumbai and officially entered India. After this, the brand opened its second showroom in Delhi next month. The Elon Musk-led electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer has currently launched a model Y in India, which has an initial price of Rs 59.89 lakh (ex-showroom). Let us know how Tesla has received the response of buyers in India and how many cars have been able to sell so far.
Only 600 bookings received so far
According to Bloomberg, the American EV giant has so far received only 600 bookings in India. This number is equivalent to the numbers sold at the global level every four hours in the first half of this year by Tesla. This is much less than the company's expectations. India is a very important market for Tesla as the company's cell in Europe and China is steadily declining.
Cars will come to India from Shanghai
It has also been told in the report that Tesla is now planning to send 350 to 500 cars in India this year. The first batch of Tesla model Y vehicles from Shanghai is expected to come in early September, with the delivery to Mumbai, Delhi, Pune and Gurugram.
These are the reasons?
Tesla planned to abolish its 2,500-car annual quota this year. However, its strategy was based on the Stight Brand Appeal and close ties with Alan Musk and President Donald Trump, it has now failed. The reasons for the public dispute with Musk's Trump, tension in the US-India relations, high import duty and more price sensitive market of India are coming in the way of the company's success in India.

India did not like Tesla? Beginning is dull, only the same book has been done from July till now
Last updated:
Tesla Car Sales: Tesla started car sales in India from July, but got more than 600 orders. There will be delivery in Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Gurugram. Import duty and prices have become a hindrance in sales.
Tesla car sales: Tesla started selling its vehicles in India, but sales are less than expectations. Since the sale started between July, orders have been received from only a little more than 600 vehicles. This number is much less than the expectations of the company.
According to the Times of India report, Tesla thought that she would sell 2500 vehicles in India this year, but now she is planning to send only 350 to 500 vehicles. The first of these batch will come to India from Shanghai in early September.
Tesla's vehicles will be delivered in these places
These vehicles will be delivered only in Mumbai, Delhi, Pune and Gurugram, because Tesla showrooms and facilities are still in these cities. The size of delivery will depend on how many people have made complete payment and the company is able to deliver outside these four cities.
The cost of Tesla's cheapest vehicle, model Y, in India is more than 60 lakh rupees. This price is very high for most electric vehicle buyers in India, because most of the electric vehicles are sold here around Rs 22 lakh. The major reason for this is import duty in India, which can be up to 110 percent.
Tariff affected
Because of this, Tesla's vehicles are out of reach of common Indian customers. The sale of electric vehicles in India is only 5 percent of the total car sales. Tesla hoped that his brand and good relations with America would make his path easier in India, but this did not happen. The relationship between US President Donald Trump and Tesla owner Allen Musk has deteriorated. Also, there is tension in business relations between India and America, as Trump has imposed a 50 percent fee on India's exports. Due to this, Tesla is having difficulty in bringing cheap vehicles.
Tesla is increasing its presence in India
People came to Tesla stores in India, but this crowd did not turn into sale. Tesla usually does not advertise much, she trusts the strength of her brand. But in a market like India, where car companies advertise vigorously, this strategy weakened. Nevertheless, Tesla is gradually increasing its presence in India. It has built supercharger stations in Mumbai and Delhi and plans to open a new experience center in South India in 2026.
At the same time, Tesla's Chinese Committee company Biwi has performed better in India. In the first half of 2025, he sold more than 1200 vehicles of his Salan 7 SUV, which costs around Rs 49 lakh. There are challenges in India for Tesla, as its main sales are decreasing in the US and China. Its sales fell 13 percent in the last quarter, and the company is trying to avoid sales reduction for the second consecutive year.

The car in which Modi-Putin sitting together, 7.62 mm tablet cannot penetrate it, bomb also neutralized
Date 1 September 2025. Place Tianjin (China). There was an atmosphere of SCO Summit. Big meetings, crowds of leaders and cameras around the world. Everything was going on normal… but then a sight came out, which caught everyone's attention. Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi and Russia President Vladimir Putin sat in the same car and from there reached the Ritz-Karlton Hotel. The bilateral meeting of the two leaders was scheduled in this hotel. America is currently pressurizing India not to buy cheaper oil from Russia and has also imposed a 50 percent tariff on Indian goods. At such a time, Modi and Putin's traveling together was to indicate that 'friendship is strong'.
There are many deep political meanings of both of them together, which we have written about the news related to it. In this news, we will give you information about the car in which Modi and Putin rides. The car in which two powerful leaders of the world sit together cannot be an ordinary car. PM Modi also shared this moment on social media. He wrote on X (Twitter)- Putin ji and I went to the meeting venue together after SCO meetings. The conversation with him always gives new thinking and interesting attitude.
Modi and Putin were sitting in which car?
According to many reports, this car and Aurus Senat were. The same luxurious bulletproof limosine of Russia, which is called the 'President's Vehicle' of Putin. It is also said that China had given this car to Putin, but information about this is not very clear, because Aurus Senat is a car made by Russia's NAMI institute and usually Putin uses it in every big meeting. In July 2024 last year, Modi-Putin was seen in this car together.
According to Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin, the two leaders decided to travel together at the same time. This was not a pre -decided program. This means that the car may have been taken from the convoy of vehicles in Putin's security, and this is the biggest possibility of Aurus Senat.
Aurus Senat: Strength of the fort on the go
Aur Santut is a special armored limgeon car, which is built by the NAMI institute of Russia. This car is especially designed to protect big leaders, such as President or Prime Minister,. It is very strong and safe, and there are many characteristics that help protect it from dangers.
Safety from bullet and attack
- Strong armor (armor): This car is made of steel in a single piece. Meaning there are no cuts in the entire car. It has a armor with many layers. This armor has been applied by mixing metals like steel, ceramics, and perhaps aluminum. It is so strong that even the tablet of 7.62 mm, which came out of the Dragunov sniper rifle, cannot penetrate it. It has received a rating of Russia's BR5 standard or up to VR10 standard of Europe, which makes it very safe.
- Bulletproof Glass: The glass of the car is more than 6 cm thick and is specially designed to stop the pill. These glass can also stop BR5 or higher levels of pills. That is, even big and dangerous weapons bullets cannot penetrate these glasses.
- Seed doors and joints: The doors and joints of the car have been strengthened in such a way that pills, chemical substances, or bomb pieces cannot penetrate inside. This protects the weak places where the armored vehicles are usually weak.
Bomb and explosion protection
- Safety below and up: The lower part of the car (underbody) and the roof is strengthened with anti-bomb plates. It is capable of protecting the car from bottom or above bombs, such as IED (improvised explosive device) or grenade. It is said to be completely anti-bomb, that is, it can also bear the explosion of the bomb.
- Strong structure: The structure made in a single piece of car prevents it from breaking up during the explosions. This keeps the car's cabin safe, and people sitting inside are completely safe.
Speed and escape strength
- Engine strength: The car has a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 hybrid engine, which gives the strength of about 598 horsepower. This car can catch the speed of 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 6 seconds, despite being weighing 6,200 to 7,200 kg. This high speed helps it to run away from the dangerous situation.
- Run-flat tire: There are special support in the tires of the car, which enable the car to run at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour even when bursting or completely bad. That is, if the attackers shoot the tires, the car will still continue.
- Fuel tank that seals itself: The fuel tank of the car is made of a particular polymer, which prevents leakage or explosion even when a bullet or hole. This makes the tank more safe.
Protection from chemical weapon
- Air Purifier System: The car has a special air purifier system, which seals the cabin completely and prevents the toxic gases, chemical substances, or biological hazards (such as bacteria or viruses) from entering. This system gives clean oxygen, so that people sitting inside are safe.
- Fire extinguishing system: The car has an automatic fire extinguisher system, which immediately recognizes the fire in the engine or lower part of the car. This prevented the damage caused by fire.
- Emergency Exit: If the doors are spoiled or not opening, the back window of the car can be used as an emergency exit.
- Special Intercom System: The car has a particular intercom system, which allows to interact with people without opening a door or window. This system is half-duplex, that is, one can talk from one side at a time, which further increases security.
- CCTV Integration: There are screens inside the car, which show the outside live video footage. People sitting inside can understand what is happening by looking at the situation outside.
And what are the characteristics of this car?
Some things about this car are never told to the common people. They are secret features, which are made to protect big personalities like Putin. It is believed that he has special technology in his and the sanctus- such as extremely safe communication systems, additional safety shield and cyber attack system. Even those driving this car are not ordinary drivers, but are special training commandos, who can immediately remove the car from the safe path during danger.
Some claims have also come in which it has been said that China has given this car to Putin, but this cannot be trusted much. Trust cannot be done because Aurus is made in Russia itself and Putin often takes it with him on foreign trips. Most of the experts believe that Russia's team brought the same car with its convoy in Tianjin.

Buy now or else you will regret it after! These cars can be expensive up to Rs 2 lakh
Last updated:
The price of MG Windser may not increase after GST amendment, but cars like Mahindra Be 6, Xev 9E, Tata Harrier Ev, Hyundai Creta Ev can be expensive up to 2 lakhs.
New Delhi. Everyone in the country is hoping that after the new GST reforms, the prices of many things will become cheaper. By now we have seen that many cars and bikes will be cheap, but today we will look at those cars whose prices can rise. This list also includes your favorite car! See –
Up to 2 lakh rupees can be expensive
The GST amendments proposed by the Indian government are currently the most discussed in the country. The decision on this will be taken in the meeting to be held on September 3 and 4. However, just before this, the recent picture that went viral from a Mg dealer shows that the most preferred Windsor price may increase after GST modification. The poster states that the price of the best selling electric car can increase by about 2 lakh rupees! This is too much, right?
Will big cars be expensive?
But, why are they taking more than EVS? Well, this question also came to mind, but here is a simple thing to understand that when you are taking something, its option will be affected. Similarly, as small cars will be cheaper, EVs and luxury automobiles are expected to increase prices. Currently, maximum tax is levied on electric vehicles in the country. However, after the amendment, some non -ice cars, which cost more than Rs 20 lakh, can increase from 5 percent to 18 percent. While this is just a hope, once the new GST bill is passed, we will know everything about its advantages and disadvantages.
What about Windsor?
Now, let's talk about the poster that we saw that suggested to increase the price of India's favorite electric car. From our side, we hope that it can be a strategy from the dealer to push more Windser models in the market. While the model is long, its price does not go more than 20 lakh rupees. This means that the price of MG Windsor cannot increase in the coming time. However, the price of other popular cars like Mahindra BE 6, XEV 9E, Tata Harrier EV, Hyundai Creta EV may increase.
