NEW DELHI: American electric vehicle giant Tesla has appointed Sharad Agarwal, former head of Lamborghini India, to lead its operations in the country, according to sources.
The move comes as Tesla ramps up efforts to expand its footprint in India. The company launched its first experience centre in Mumbai in July, followed by another in Delhi’s Aerocity in August.
Tesla also began deliveries of the Model Y — introduced in India earlier this year — with the redesigned version of the world’s best-selling electric vehicle for 2023 and 2024 available in two variants: rear-wheel drive and long-range rear-wheel drive, offering ranges of 500 km and 622 km (WLTP) respectively.
Before joining Tesla, Agarwal served as Chief Business Officer at Classic Legends, a Mahindra & Mahindra subsidiary.
