Tesla Leases Office Near BKC as India EV Launch Nears

Tesla Inc. has expanded its footprint in India by leasing a new office space near Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), reinforcing its preparations for an electric vehicle (EV) launch in the country. The 30-seat office, situated at Phoenix Market City in Kurla—an established commercial hub close to BKC—represents a strategic operational milestone for the company.

The office, secured through Tesla’s Indian arm, Tesla India Motor & Energy, has been leased at Rs 300,000 per month for a period of one year, with a lock-in duration of three months. This arrangement offers Tesla the flexibility to scale up its presence based on evolving business requirements.

The new office will oversee early-stage functions, including regulatory engagement, vendor coordination, local talent recruitment, and backend support. These activities are seen as foundational steps ahead of Tesla’s anticipated EV debut in the Indian market.

This development follows Tesla's record-setting showroom lease in BKC at Rs 881 per square foot per month, which highlighted the company’s premium positioning and commitment to market entry.

Tesla’s earlier plans to enter India were delayed due to high import tariffs and inadequate EV infrastructure. However, following CEO Elon Musk’s 2024 meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the United States, India has emerged as a focal point in Tesla’s global expansion roadmap.

The establishment of this Mumbai-based office signals Tesla’s renewed commitment to the Indian market and sets the stage for a broader operational rollout in the coming months.
