Tesla Likely to Begin First Deliveries in India from August

Tesla Inc. will open its first showroom in India on Tuesday and begin deliveries as early as next month, according to people familiar with the matter, as the Elon Musk-led electric vehicle (EV) maker looks to tap potential demand in the third-largest automobile market to counter slowing sales elsewhere.

The opening of the Mumbai showroom will mark the formal entry of Tesla into the market, giving prospective customers access to pricing, available variants and trim options, according to one of the people, who asked not to be identified as the information is private, as well as documents seen by Bloomberg News. Deliveries are expected to start from late August, a separate person in the know said. Customers will be able to configure and order their Tesla EVs from next week, he added.
