Tesla Model Y sales in India have crossed the 600-unit mark, with the electric SUV recording its highest monthly sales since deliveries began. Tesla delivered 115 units in July 2026, according to Vahan data, marking a 203 percent increase over the 38 units sold in June.
The increase follows a Rs 9 lakh price reduction announced for the Model Y in June. The price cut brought the SUV’s starting price down to Rs 50.89 lakh (ex-showroom) and improved its position in India’s luxury electric vehicle segment.
Tesla Model Y Records Best-Ever Monthly Sales
Tesla delivered 115 Model Y SUVs in July 2026, surpassing its previous monthly record of 69 units. The earlier record was achieved in both September and December 2025.
The July sales figure represents a 203 percent month-on-month increase over June. The higher sales came shortly after Tesla reduced the Model Y’s starting price by Rs 9 lakh.
Tesla Model Y Price Cut Boosts Sales
Tesla’s June price reduction lowered the starting price of the Model Y to Rs 50.89 lakh (ex-showroom). Before the price revision, sales of the electric SUV had remained relatively limited in India.

Volvo Auto India recorded 51 luxury EV sales during the same period. Tesla therefore ranked third among luxury EV brands in India for July 2026.
