According to a report by PTI, the American electric vehicle maker Tesla plans to expand its super charging network in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bangalore and start deliveries in India by September, a senior company official was quoted by the agency as saying on August 11.

The company plans to have supercharging stations in Gurugram and Noida, besides one more in Saket, Tesla Regional Director South East Asia Isabel Fan said here at the opening event.

The company opened its first experience centre in Mumbai last month and launched its Model Y, which has a price starting at ₹59.89 lakh.

Delhi and Mumbai are priorities for the company, she said, adding, in the next few weeks, the company will open its supercharging station in Gurugram to be followed by others in Saket (South Delhi) and Noida.

In the Mumbai area, Tesla is planning to set up supercharging stations at Lower Parel, Navi Mumbai and Thane to add to the existing one at Bandra Kurla Complex, Fan told PTI.

"The other new market, new states... We cannot miss Bangalore very soon," she was quoted as saying by PTI, adding, "we don't commit five-year plan that we cannot deliver. So whatever we share is a commitment in the upcoming (period)."

Fan was also quoted as saying that the company will soon launch its mobile service, remote diagnostics, service centre, and Tesla-approved collision Centre in India.
