Tesla opened its fifth India experience centre in Hyderabad on June 17, 2026, adding to its existing outlets in New Delhi, Gurugram, Mumbai and Bengaluru. The new centre, in Knowledge City within HITEC City, Madhapur, continues the company's steady physical roll-out less than a year after it formally entered the Indian market. Tesla has also begun delivery and after-sales operations from the Bollaram Industrial Area to support owners across Telangana.
Why Hyderabad, and why now
Hyderabad is one of India's fastest-growing premium-car markets, and the Telangana government has actively courted Tesla for both retail and potential investment. An experience centre is a showroom-plus-service format where buyers can view cars, book test drives and complete orders, rather than a full sales-and-delivery hub. Adding a southern metro after Bengaluru signals that Tesla wants a presence in each major demand cluster before it scales deliveries.
What you can actually buy
The Hyderabad centre showcases Tesla's full 2026 Model Y lineup. The five-seat Model Y Premium RWD starts at about ₹50.89 lakh (ex-showroom), with deliveries scheduled to begin in July 2026. Sitting above it is the new six-seat, three-row Model Y L, priced from ₹61.99 lakh with a claimed WLTP range of up to 681 km, a 0–100 km/h time of 5.0 seconds and up to 2,539 litres of cargo space — deliveries of the L are already underway. As an introductory sweetener, customers who place an order before June 30, 2026 receive a complimentary Tesla Wall Connector. A Model 3 sedan is widely expected to follow.
The catch: price
Even after Tesla cut Model Y pricing earlier this year, India's steep import duties keep it firmly in luxury territory — a reality reflected in modest early volumes. That gap is exactly why home-grown options remain the default for most buyers. If you are weighing a Tesla against locally built rivals, it is worth running the long-term math on our EV vs petrol cost calculator and lining the cars up side by side on our EV comparison tool.
The bottom line
A new experience centre will not change Tesla's pricing, but it does make ownership more practical for buyers in Hyderabad who previously had no local touchpoint.
