Abhishek Kiran Gupta, CEO of CRE Matrix, commented on the development, stating, “Tesla’s India entry is taking shape through a deliberate, multi-city rollout from its office in Pune to flagship showrooms in BKC and Delhi-NCR, co-working presence in BKC, and now a strategic warehousing facility in Kurla West, Mumbai,” as reported by Hindustan Times.
