Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, congratulated Siddharth Jain, Executive Director of the INOX Group, on becoming the first India Inc executive to own a Tesla electric vehicle. Musk acknowledged Jain’s milestone through a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Sharing his excitement, Jain wrote, “This one’s for you @ElonMusk. I am beyond thrilled to receive India Inc’s 1st @Tesla. I have been waiting for this precious moment ever since I visited the Tesla Fremont factory in 2017! Dreams do come true.”
The Tesla Model Y is now available in India in two variants: the Rs 59.89 lakh (ex-showroom) Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and the Rs 67.89 lakh Long Range All-Wheel Drive (AWD), with on-road prices in Mumbai reaching Rs 69.15 lakh. Tesla officially launched in India on July 15, 2025, opening showrooms in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex and Delhi’s Aerocity as experience centres to promote electric mobility.
The first Tesla delivery in India went to Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik, highlighting the state’s commitment to green transportation. Despite high import duties, Tesla’s entry is expected to accelerate EV adoption and infrastructure development across the country.
