Tesla Model Y price in Gurugram ₹5.7 lakh more than Delhi, Mumbai — here’s the reason

Tesla has launched the Model Y SUV in India with two variants listed on its website — the Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) priced at ₹59.89 lakh and the Long Range RWD at ₹67.89 lakh (ex-showroom). However, the on-road prices differ sharply between cities due to varying local taxes and charges.In Mumbai, the Model Y RWD costs ₹61,07,190 on-road, while in Delhi it is ₹61,06,690. In contrast, Gurugram buyers pay ₹66,76,831 — about ₹5.7 lakh more than in Delhi or Mumbai.

The price gap is mainly because Haryana charges ₹5,77,141 as road tax and registration fees on the Model Y. In comparison, Mumbai’s road tax and fees are ₹7,500, and Delhi’s are ₹7,000. All three cities include a 1% Tax Collected at Source (TCS) of ₹59,890, a service fee of ₹50,000 (including GST), and a ₹800 Fastag charge.

Tesla’s India pricing is also impacted by import duties on completely built units (CBUs), which can reach up to 100%, nearly doubling the price compared to its US base price of $44,990 (₹38.6 lakh). The Model Y starts at 263,500 yuan in China and €45,970 in Germany.Tesla opened its first Indian showroom on July 15 at Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai.
