Tesla sells 225 electric vehicles in India in 2025
US-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Tesla sold 225 units of its only electric vehicle in India, the Model Y SUV, in calendar year 2025, according to industry data.
Data from the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) showed that Tesla retailed 64 units in September, 40 in October, 48 in November and 73 in December.
The US electric vehicle maker is yet to complete a full year of retail deliveries in India, having opened its maiden showroom in July.
The company currently offers the Model Y in India as a completely built unit with a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) powertrain.
The standard RWD variant of the Model Y is priced at Rs 59.89 lakh (ex-showroom), while the Long Range RWD variant costs Rs 67.89 lakh (ex-showroom). Prices are significantly higher than those in overseas markets due to India’s high import duties on fully built vehicles.
Tesla operates experience centres in Gurugram, Mumbai and Delhi, with around 12 Superchargers and 10 destination chargers across these cities.
Tesla claims a range of up to 500 km for the Model Y, while the Long Range variant offers up to 622 km. The standard variant accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 5.9 seconds, while the Long Range version does so in 5.6 seconds. Both have a top speed of 201 kph. Fast charging can restore roughly 238 km of range for the standard model and about 267 km for the Long Range variant in 15 minutes, the company said.
India’s electric vehicle market accounted for 8 per cent of all new vehicle registrations in 2025, with total EV sales reaching 2.3 million units, according to Vahan portal data.
A report by the India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) said electric two-wheelers led EV growth with sales of 1.28 million units, accounting for 57 per cent of total EV sales, while electric three-wheelers (L3 and L5) accounted for 0.8 million units, or 35 per cent.
Electric four-wheeler sales stood at 1.75 lakh units, with notable momentum in small and light commercial electric goods carriers, the report said.
