Tesla opens first Supercharger station in Gurugram as India charging network grows
Tesla has inaugurated its first dedicated Supercharger station in Gurugram, marking a key expansion of its electric vehicle charging network in India. The new charging facility is part of the company’s effort to strengthen its infrastructure for Tesla owners and support broader EV adoption in the country.
The station, located at the DLF Horizon Center on Golf Course Road, features four high-speed V4 Superchargers capable of delivering up to 250 kW of charging power and three additional destination chargers for slower, everyday use. Tesla says a Model Y can gain around 275 km of range in about 15 minutes at the site, making it practical for longer trips as well as local travel.
This Gurugram facility builds on Tesla’s growing Indian footprint. With the addition of this station, the company now operates multiple charging locations across major metros. Apart from Gurugram, Tesla’s network includes Supercharger and destination charger sites in cities such as Mumbai and Delhi, delivering better access to fast charging for electric car owners.
Tesla’s expansion of charging infrastructure comes as the brand gradually ramps up its presence in India. The company has been setting up experience and service centres while rolling out fast-charging options, reflecting a broader industry push to make electric mobility more convenient for customers.
Industry observers say that developing affordable and reliable charging networks is crucial for EV adoption in India, where range anxiety and infrastructure gaps have been barriers for many potential buyers. By adding high-speed Superchargers in key urban centres, Tesla aims to ease some of those concerns and encourage long-distance travel among EV users.
Editor’s View
Tesla’s opening of its first Supercharger station in Gurugram is a signal of how seriously global EV makers view India’s potential. While charging infrastructure still trails behind markets like China and Europe, every new fast-charging hub, especially from a premium brand like Tesla, helps reduce range anxiety and supports a more seamless EV experience.
For the tyre and automotive sectors, better charging networks can also influence buying behaviour. As EV ownership becomes more accessible and practical, demand for EV-specific tyres, designed to handle heavier loads and instant torque, could rise alongside the broader shift to electric mobility.
Tesla’s move underscores a broader truth: charging infrastructure is the backbone of EV adoption. Whether for daily commuting or cross-city travel, accessible, fast, and reliable charging points will determine how quickly Indian roads transition to electric vehicles.
