The Tesla Cybertruck continues to generate massive buzz in India, with Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt recently spotted cruising the streets of Mumbai in this futuristic electric pickup. The copper-tinted Cybertruck, imported (likely from Dubai), has been making headlines as one of the rarest EVs on Indian roads.
This sighting highlights the growing interest in Tesla’s innovative designs, even as the brand faces challenges with official entry and high import costs.
The Cybertruck’s bold, angular exoskeleton crafted from ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel delivers exceptional durability and a near-indestructible appearance, setting it apart from traditional pickups.

Tesla Cybertruck Price in India: Import Costs and Availability
Tesla has not officially launched the Cybertruck in India, so all units are privately imported often via Carnet permits or direct shipping from markets like the US or Dubai. This results in significantly higher costs due to import duties (up to 100% on fully built vehicles), shipping, and compliance.
- Expected ex-showroom price (if launched): Starting from ₹50-70 lakh
- Real-world imported cost: Frequently reported between ₹1.6 crore to ₹5 crore+ (depending on variant, customization like copper tint, and import route)
The Mumbai sighting of Sanjay Dutt‘s Cybertruck underscores the premium nature of these imports, where enthusiasts pay a substantial markup for exclusivity.
