Work is in full swing on India's first Tesla showroom in Mumbai.

Manish Jain, founder of investment portfolio tracker MProfit, shared images of the upcoming showroom at Maker Maxity, in Bandra-Kural Complex of the financial hub.


Tesla had signed the lease for its 4,000 square foot Mumbai showroom in March. The location is in the vicinity of Jio World Drive, which has houses Apple's first showroom in the country.

Earlier this month, Tesla leased a new commercial space in central Mumbai’s Kurla West area of Mumbai. The space is expected to serve as a vehicle service area. This is Tesla’s fourth commercial space in India, after its engineering facility in Pune, a registered office in Bengaluru, and a 30-seater office near Mumbai’s central business district, Bandra Kurla Complex ( BKC) secured for a year.

The Elon Musk led EV maker is moving ahead with its India plans despite a recent top-level shake up. Prashanth Menon, Tesla's India country head, resigned last month after a nine-year-long stint, according to Bloomberg News, as the US carmaker is getting closer to launching its cars in the world's third-largest car market. Tesla's China teams are overseeing India operations in the interim, with no immediate successor named.

Earlier this month, Union heavy industries minister HD Kumaraswamy commented on Tesla's India entry that the company is not keen on manufacturing in the country Tesla and "only wants to open showrooms and sell imported cars".
