In a milestone occasion for India’s electrical automobile (EV) panorama, Siddharth Jain, Govt Director of the INOX Group, has develop into the primary company chief to take supply of a Tesla in India, proudly dubbing it “India Inc’s first Tesla.”

Jain, a longtime title in India Inc by way of his stewardship of the diversified INOX companies, took to social media to share a photograph of himself along with his new Tesla Mannequin Y — a modern, stealth-grey mannequin — tagging Elon Musk and reflecting on a long-held ambition. He revealed that his dream dates again to 2017, when he first visited Tesla’s Fremont manufacturing facility in California. “This one’s for you @ElonMusk!!! I’m past thrilled to obtain India Inc’s 1st @Tesla! I’ve been ready for this treasured second ever since I visited the Tesla Fremont manufacturing facility in 2017! Desires do come true!” he wrote.

Tesla formally entered the Indian market in mid-July 2025, opening showrooms in Mumbai and New Delhi, amongst different centres. The Mannequin Y is being provided in a minimum of two variants — the rear-wheel drive (RWD) and the long-range all-wheel drive (AWD) — with ex-showroom costs starting from roughly ₹60.1 lakh to ₹67.8 lakh relying on the variant and area.

Elon Musk himself congratulated Jain in a response to his social-media put up, maintaining the change easy: “Congrats!”

With Tesla’s arrival within the Indian market, and early adopters similar to Siddharth Jain breaking floor, analysts anticipate a trickle (or maybe a surge) of high-profile enterprise leaders to comply with.
