These cars have yet to be identified, although they will most likely be Model 3 and Model Y variants. Both cars have been seen on Indian highways many times. In reality, the Tesla Model Y that was recently seen in Manali has returned to Mumbai and was photographed charging on Tata’s CCS2 charger in Powai, which has a capacity of 25 kW. Tesla has yet to confirm that these vehicles are Model 3 and Model Y variants.

Homologation is the process of verifying that a certain make of vehicle is safe to drive and complies with all regulatory standards. The Ministry of Shipping, the Ministry of Roads, and the Ministry of Transport and Highways are all responsible for vehicle homologation in India.
While Tesla established its Indian business in January 2021, it has yet to make a public statement about the commercial launch of its fully electric vehicles in India.
The US-based electric vehicle manufacturer, which has a Bengaluru headquarters, has been pressing the Centre for lower import duties. The government has pushed for the domestic manufacture of electric vehicles to compete with China, which now produces more than 70% of the world’s electric vehicles. In India, the import tariff on electric vehicles is 100% if the CIF (cost, insurance, and freight) value exceeds $40,000 and 60% if the CIF value is less than $40,000. Tesla’s Model Y and Model 3 are priced between $38,700 and $41,200.
In 2020, both models accounted for 90% of Tesla’s sales. The remaining ten percent came from the Model S and Model X, which are priced between $81,200 and $91,200.
