Tesla India Sells 40 Units In October 2025, Monthly Sales Down 37.5%: FADA

Tesla India sold 40 cars in October, taking the cumulative sales to 104 units, having delivered 64 units in September 2025. US tech billionaire Elon Musk-led electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer currently offers only the Model Y SUV in India. The EV giant opened its maiden showroom in India in July.

However, Tesla's retail sales in October dropped 37.5% month-on-month, according to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA). Tesla had opened its first experience centre in Mumbai in July 2025 followed by second experience centre in Delhi at Aerocity in August.

In September, Tesla India commenced deliveries of Model Y after introducing the model in July. The EV giant said the new Tesla Model Y owners will be provided with a complimentary wall connector, allowing convenient installation in their parking space for easy home charging.

Tesla India's redesigned Model Y, the world’s best-selling electric vehicle in 2023 and 2024, is available in two trims: rear-wheel drive and long-range rear-wheel drive, which provide 500 km and 622 km (WLTP) range, respectively. Tesla said it will also start deliveries for Long Range Model Y customers soon.

India’s retail vehicle sales rose 40.5% year-on-year in October to a record 40.2 lakh units, led by a sharp rise in two-wheeler demand, data from the FADA showed. The surge was driven by festive demand, the rollout of GST 2.0, and stronger rural spending.

The two-wheeler sales rose 51.8% to 31.5 lakh units, passenger vehicles grew 11.4% to 5.57 lakh units, FADA said adding that commercial vehicles were up 17.7% to 1.08 lakh units, tractor sales rose 14.2% to 73,577 units, and three-wheeler sales increased 5.4% to 1.30 lakh units.

Passenger vehicle sales grew 23% and two-wheelers were up 22%. Commercial vehicles rose 15%, tractors 14%, and three-wheelers 9%, while construction equipment declined 24% due to project delays and tight financing, according to FADA.
