Cars24 and Tesla India launch integrated EV trade-in programme
Owners can now swap petrol or diesel cars for Tesla Model Y with up to Rs 3.25 lakh in benefits.
MUMBAI: Switching to electric just got a serious power boost Cars24 and Tesla have teamed up to make the shift from petrol or diesel cars smoother than ever. Cars24 has announced a collaboration with Tesla India to introduce an integrated trade-in programme that simplifies the entire journey of moving to an electric vehicle. The limited-period offer combines vehicle sale and new purchase into one seamless experience, removing the usual hassle of managing two separate transactions.
Under the programme, Tesla is offering an exchange bonus of Rs 3 lakh on petrol and diesel vehicles. Customers who complete a Tesla purchase will also receive an additional Rs 25,000 exchange bonus from Cars24, taking the total benefit to Rs 3.25 lakh.
The process begins at Tesla Experience Centres, where customers interested in the Model Y can start the exchange. Alternatively, they can initiate the process on the Cars24 website or app by entering their vehicle details. After a quick doorstep inspection, Cars24 provides a transparent price quote with no obligation to proceed.
If the customer accepts the offer, Cars24 handles the entire process end-to-end including vehicle pickup, direct bank payment, and ownership transfer making it completely hassle-free.
To make the switch even more accessible, Tesla is offering financing options with a down payment starting at Rs 6 lakh and EMIs from Rs 49,000 per month. The Model Y also supports convenient home charging for everyday use.
Cars24, co-founder and CMO Gajendra Jangid said, “At Cars24, our focus has always been on simplifying car transactions. Partnering with Tesla allows us to extend that convenience to customers transitioning to electric vehicles.”
With electric vehicles promising significantly lower running and maintenance costs, this collaboration aims to remove the biggest friction points in switching to an EV. For many Indian car owners, the road to going electric just became a lot less bumpy and a lot more rewarding.

Tanishq enters natural gemstone segment with Triptii Dimri campaign
Hues collection debuts ahead of Akshaya Tritiya, spotlighting self-expression
MUMBAI: Tanishq is stepping into the natural gemstone jewellery space with a new campaign featuring actor Triptii Dimri, marking a strategic expansion ahead of Akshaya Tritiya.
The launch introduces the brand’s latest collection, ‘Hues’, a design-led range crafted in 18kt gold and built around 100 percent natural gemstones. The move signals Tanishq’s intent to tap into a fast-growing category driven by consumers seeking authenticity, individuality and expressive styling.
Conceptualised by Lowe Lintas, the campaign film leans into the idea of colour as a form of self-expression. Set in a muted, almost paused world, the narrative comes alive as Dimri selects her jewellery, triggering a burst of colour that transforms her surroundings. The visual metaphor captures how jewellery is evolving from occasion-led adornment to a more personal, mood-driven choice.
The ‘Hues’ collection draws inspiration from the vibrancy of an Indian summer, featuring gemstones such as emeralds, amethysts, citrines, tourmalines and tanzanites. With sculptural forms and techniques like cabochon cuts and layering, the designs aim to bring depth, movement and a contemporary aesthetic to fine jewellery.
Titan Company Limited chief marketing officer Pelki Tshering said, “‘Hues’ marks a bold new chapter as we introduce natural gemstone jewellery in India. The collection reflects the evolving Tanishq woman who is expressive and confident, and seeks jewellery that mirrors her individuality.”
Sharing her perspective, Triptii Dimri said, “What I love about this collection is how it celebrates self-expression through colour. It feels less about occasion and more about expressing who you are in the moment.”
Priced from Rs 30,000, the collection is positioned for both everyday wear and special occasions. To coincide with the festive season, the brand is also rolling out promotional offers, including discounts on making charges and gold rate protection schemes.
With Hues, Tanishq is not just adding a new category but also reshaping how jewellery is worn and perceived, placing personal expression and colour firmly at the centre of its design philosophy.
