Tesla’s Luxury Strategy Struggles in India’s Price-Sensitive EV Market
Tesla’s Luxury Strategy Struggles in India’s Price-Sensitive EV Market

Tesla's premium electric vehicles face an uphill battle in India, where affordability trumps brand prestige. The company's Model Y, priced at $68,000, sits far above the market's sweet spot of sub-$25,000 EVs. Early sales figures tell the story: just 600 orders secured since July, well below Tesla's 2,500-car import quota for 2025.
This demand gap highlights a fundamental mismatch between Tesla's global luxury positioning and India's value-driven automotive culture. While competitors like BYD gain traction, Tesla continues infrastructure investments—betting on long-term growth through Supercharger networks and experience centers. The strategy mirrors global playbooks, but India's unique market dynamics demand recalibration.
