Maharashtra minister Sarnaik receives first delivery of car from Tesla

Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik on Friday received the first delivery of a car from Tesla’s newly launched showroom in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex, calling it his attempt towards raising awareness of electric vehicle (EV) adoption.

The minister, who booked the Model Y a day after the American automaker launched its first showroom in India in July, said



he plans to gift the car to his grandson as a symbolic step towards building “early awareness” of green mobility.

“I have taken delivery of the Tesla to spread awareness about electric mobility among citizens, especially the younger generation. I want children to see these cars early and understand the importance of sustainable transportation,” said Pratap Sarnaik.
