Real estate data analytics firm CRE Matrix, which has reviewed the registration document of leasing transactions, said that Tesla India Motor’s & Energy Pvt. Ltd. has taken on lease 8,200 sq ft area at Worldmark 3 project in Aerocity from Oak Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd.

Elon Musk-led Tesla made its India retail debut last month with a store in the Bandra Kurla Complex business district in suburban Mumbai. The company is selling the China-made ‘Model Y’ with a price tag of nearly ₹60 lakh after accounting for the high import duties.

The company registered a 9-year lease for the unit in Gurugram’s Orchid Business Park.

Tesla will be paying a starting rent of ₹40 lakh for the Gurugram property. There is a clause in the agreement under which the rent will escalate by 4.75% per annum.
