Electric vehicle giant Tesla is set to launch its first supercharging station in India next week, beginning with Mumbai, marking a significant milestone in the company’s much-anticipated entry into the Indian market.
The Mumbai charging hub will feature four V4 Supercharging Stalls (DC fast chargers) with a peak output of 250 kW starting at INR 24 per kWh, alongside four Destination Charging Stalls (AC chargers) delivering 11 kW at INR 14 per kWh, the company said in a statement.
Last month, Tesla officially debuted in India with the launch of its Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) variant, priced from INR 59.89 lakh, and opened its first experience centre at Maker Maxity, Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Mumbai.

According to Tesla, the Model Y can add up to 267 kilometres of range in just 15 minutes via its superchargers—enough for five round trips between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and the Gateway of India.
As part of its India strategy, Tesla also announced that all new vehicle purchases will include a free home wall connector, enabling at-home charging for customers.
