Siddharth Jain Takes Delivery of India’s First Tesla Model Y

Siddharth Jain, Inox Group MD, has taken delivery of India’s first Tesla Model Y. From visiting Tesla’s Fremont factory in 2017 to owning one in India, Siddharth Jain’s long wait is over. He is now the country’s first Tesla Model Y customer.

Tesla has officially started delivering cars to Indian customers through its own showrooms.

After opening its first showroom in Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex in July 2025, followed by a second in New Delhi’s Aerocity in August, the EV giant is now handing over vehicles to buyers.

The most notable milestone came when Siddharth Jain, Managing Director of the Inox Group, became the first retail customer in India to receive a Tesla Model Y.

A Dream Realised for Siddharth Jain

Siddharth Jain is not just another buyer — he’s been waiting years for this moment. Back in 2017, he visited Tesla’s Fremont factory in California and has been vocal about his admiration for the brand ever since.

When he finally received his Model Y in India, Jain shared his excitement on X (formerly Twitter):

“This one’s for you @ElonMusk!!! I am beyond thrilled to receive India Inc’s first @Tesla. I have been waiting for this precious moment ever since I visited the Tesla Fremont factory in 2017! Dreams do come true!”

For Jain, the delivery was more than just a purchase — it symbolized persistence, aspiration, and India catching up with the global EV wave.

Why This Delivery Matters

Tesla’s journey into India has been closely followed for years. From debates over import duties to talks of setting up a Gigafactory, the brand’s entry was long delayed. Now, with two operational showrooms and deliveries beginning, Tesla’s arrival is a concrete reality.

Jain’s delivery matters because it:

• Marks the first direct retail handover of a Tesla in India.

• Positions Tesla as a serious player in the Indian premium EV market.

• Signals a shift in perception, from waiting for Tesla to watching Teslas drive on Indian roads.

Tesla Model Y in India: Price & Specifications

Tesla has launched the Model Y as its debut offering in India, catering to premium EV buyers who value performance, technology, and range.

The Model Y’s arrival places Tesla in direct competition with premium EVs like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, BYD Seal, and even high-end models from Mercedes-Benz EQ and BMW i-series.

While pricing is on the higher side due to import duties, Tesla is relying on its brand strength, technology, and range superiority to attract buyers.

For Siddharth Jain, though, it’s not just about comparisons. His new Model Y is a personal dream come true and a national milestone for India’s EV journey.
