Tesla will open its first India showroom in Mumbai next week, having imported $1 million worth of cars and merchandise, marking its entry into the world's third-largest car market despite CEO Elon Musk's complaints about high import tariffs.

Tesla will open its first showroom in India on July 15th, as India's import duties on EVs were reduced, boosting Musk's ambitions.

Tesla has officially received a trade certificate from the Regional Transport Office (RTO) in Andheri to display its vehicles, conduct test drives and sell cars in India.
