“Proud Moment for Maharashtra”: CM Devendra Fadnavis Welcomes Tesla’s First India Experience Centre in Mumbai

Mumbai: In a major boost to India’s electric vehicle ecosystem, Tesla has officially launched its first experience centre in India, choosing Mumbai as the flagship location. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis hailed the development as a landmark moment for the state and expressed confidence that Maharashtra will become Tesla’s manufacturing hub in the future.

Speaking on the occasion, CM Fadnavis said, “It is a matter of great joy for us that Tesla has launched its first experience in India in Mumbai. Tesla is establishing a logistics and servicing system here. Four big charging stations are also being established by them. I am happy that Tesla chose Maharashtra as the state has become a leader in electric mobility.”

Tesla’s entry into India begins with the launch of the Model Y, a premium electric SUV, which will be showcased and serviced through the new Mumbai facility. The company is also laying the groundwork for a robust charging and after-sales infrastructure, starting with four strategically located high-capacity charging stations across Mumbai and Pune.

CM Fadnavis emphasized that Maharashtra’s proactive electric vehicle policy and investment-friendly climate made it a natural choice for global players like Tesla. “Maharashtra has the most dynamic electric mobility policy. I believe Maharashtra will be a preferred destination when they decide to do manufacturing in India,” he added.
