Tesla Lights Up Gurugram: First Charging Station Marks India Network Growth
Tesla took a significant step forward in India’s electric mobility landscape on December 17, 2025, by commissioning its first charging station in Gurugram at the DLF Horizon Centre. This new facility, located in the surface parking area, brings Tesla’s signature fast-charging technology closer to owners in the Delhi-NCR region, addressing a key pillar of EV adoption: reliable and convenient charging infrastructure.
The move underscores Tesla’s commitment to building a comprehensive ecosystem beyond just vehicles. As Tesla India General Manager Sharad Agarwal stated, “The company believes in creating the ecosystem. Our mission is to accelerate the transition towards the sustainable future, and EV adoption is largely dependent on the ecosystem around the EVs. It’s just not the car but also the charging infrastructure, which is also important.” He added that Tesla plans to design its network around customer lifestyles and daily needs, ensuring chargers are where owners live, work, and travel.
Gurugram Station Specs: Power and Convenience
| Charger Type | Quantity | Peak Speed | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| V4 Superchargers | 4 | 250 kW | Up to 275 km range in 15 minutes (Model Y) |
| Destination Chargers | 3 | 11 kW | Overnight or extended parking top-ups |
The V4 Superchargers deliver Tesla’s hallmark rapid charging, perfect for quick stops during commutes or errands. The slower destination chargers cater to longer stays, such as office parking or shopping trips. This mix offers flexibility—fast boosts when time is tight and steady charging when convenience matters.
Tesla’s Growing India Charging Footprint
With Gurugram online, Tesla now operates three charging stations across India, totaling
- 12 Superchargers
- 10 destination chargers
Previous sites include Mumbai and another location (likely Bengaluru or en route). This network, though small compared to Tesla’s thousands globally, is a deliberate start focused on high-demand corridors like Delhi-NCR and Mumbai-Pune.
The Gurugram launch follows Tesla’s low-key India entry earlier in 2025, with Model Y sales beginning quietly. While volumes remain modest (hundreds of units), infrastructure investments signal long-term intent.
Why Charging Matters for Tesla in India
Agarwal’s comments highlight the reality: EVs succeed only with robust support. In India, where public charging density lags and home solutions vary by housing type, Tesla’s strategy prioritizes premium, reliable stations in upscale locations like DLF Horizon Centre—targeting early adopters in corporate hubs.
The focus on lifestyle integration means future sites could cluster near malls, highways, hotels, and offices, mirroring global patterns. As Tesla eyes a broader rollout (potentially including Model 3 or localized options), a strong network will be crucial to compete with Tata, MG, and Hyundai-Kia.
The Bigger Picture: Tesla’s Quiet India Build-Up
Tesla’s India journey has been cautious—delayed factory plans, policy navigation, and now methodical ecosystem creation. The Gurugram station is a tangible milestone, proving commitment despite challenges like high import duties and subsidy shifts.
For owners, it means less range anxiety in NCR’s traffic. For the market, it adds premium fast-charging options, complementing networks from Tata Power, BPCL, and others.
As Agarwal noted, it’s about the full picture: great cars plus great charging equals great adoption. With more stations planned, Tesla is laying the foundation for that equation in India.
