Tesla has strengthened its presence in India by opening a new Authorized Body Shop and Service Facility in Pune. This marks a significant expansion of the EV maker’s after-sales network in Maharashtra and signals growing confidence in the Indian market.
The new Pune facility will offer comprehensive services including:
- Collision repair and bodywork using genuine Tesla parts and certified technicians.
- Routine maintenance and software updates.
- Diagnostic services for Tesla’s electric powertrains and battery systems.
This development is part of Tesla’s broader strategy to build a robust support ecosystem in India ahead of wider product rollout. Maharashtra, with strong EV demand in cities like Mumbai and Pune, is a key market for the company. The new centre will help reduce service wait times and improve customer experience for existing and future Tesla owners in the region.
Alongside the service centre opening, Tesla is rolling out local test drive programs for Model Y variants in Pune. Customers can now experience the Model Y Long Range and other available configurations on local roads, making it easier to evaluate the vehicle’s ride quality, range, performance, and features in real Indian driving conditions.This move is expected to boost buyer confidence and accelerate conversions in one of India’s fastest-growing automotive markets.
Tesla has been gradually expanding its footprint in India through service infrastructure, charging solutions, and strategic market activities. The Pune facility adds to existing touchpoints and shows the company’s commitment to building long-term customer trust.
With increasing competition in the premium EV segment, reliable service and quick access to test drives will be crucial differentiators. The new body shop and service centre, combined with local Model Y test drives, positions Tesla better to serve Maharashtra’s growing base of luxury and tech-savvy EV buyers.
This development is a positive step for Tesla in India and a welcome sign for customers seeking premium EV ownership with strong after-sales support.
