New Delhi–Tesla has opened its first approved body shop in India in Pune, Maharashtra, expanding its after-sales network as it begins offering test drives of two Model Y variants in the city.
The facility will provide Tesla owners in Maharashtra with access to genuine parts, trained technicians and company-approved collision repair and maintenance services.
Tesla said the body shop will offer collision repairs, body work, software-enabled diagnostics and approved repair procedures designed to maintain vehicle safety and performance while reducing customer downtime.
The electric vehicle maker has also launched test drives in Pune and surrounding areas for the 2026 Model Y Premium Rear-Wheel Drive and Model Y L. Prospective buyers can schedule appointments through Tesla’s website or customer support channels.
