Hyderabad is next on Tesla’s India map. The American electric vehicle giant has announced plans to set up a sales and service centre in the city as part of a broader push to deepen its roots across India.
Tesla India Country Head Sharad Agarwal confirmed the expansion, saying the company will be establishing its service and body shop network in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Ahmedabad within the current quarter.
The announcement came alongside the launch of Tesla’s latest offering in India — the 2026 Model Y L, a six-seater electric SUV priced at ₹61.99 lakh. The long-wheelbase variant features a 2+2+2 seating layout with second-row captain seats and a claimed WLTP range of up to 681 km.
For Hyderabad, the new centre will be a significant step — giving Tesla owners and prospective buyers in the city a dedicated place to experience, service, and sort out their vehicles locally rather than travelling to Delhi or Mumbai.
Tesla currently operates experience centres in Mumbai, Delhi, and Gurugram, with service centres and delivery hubs in Delhi-NCR and a recently added facility in Pune. Hyderabad will be among the next wave of cities to get the full Tesla treatment.
Interestingly, Tesla isn’t changing its core philosophy when it comes to how it sells cars. The company continues to follow a direct-to-consumer model, bypassing traditional dealerships entirely. Customers order online, and Tesla handles delivery — vehicles have already been delivered across 21 states in India.
On the service front, Agarwal was quick to point out that Tesla’s approach is different from what most Indian car owners are used to. Most issues, he said, can be resolved remotely through over-the-air software updates — but the company also recognises that customers want the reassurance of a nearby service centre.
Charging infrastructure is also a priority. Tesla plans to connect major cities including Delhi, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai through Supercharger corridors along key highways, with destination charging points being expanded within cities as well. The company currently has five Supercharger stations with 20 Superchargers and 14 Wall Connectors operating nationwide.
With a growing model lineup, an expanding service network, and charging corridors taking shape, Tesla’s India story is clearly moving well beyond its initial Metro-city footprint — and Hyderabad is firmly in the frame.
