Tesla FSD One-Time Purchase in India Ends 30 June 2026: MoRTH Regulatory Update

Tesla has confirmed that the one-time purchase option for Full Self-Driving in India will end on 30 June 2026. The move comes as the company continues to engage with Indian regulators on the path toward supervised FSD approval.

Regulatory Status

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) remains the primary regulatory body overseeing autonomous vehicle policy in India. As of June 2026, Tesla FSD (Supervised) has not yet received formal approval for public use.

India has taken a measured approach to autonomous driving regulations. While the government has shown interest in supporting advanced vehicle technology, it has not yet established a clear framework for Level 2+ systems like Tesla FSD.

One-Time Purchase Ends 30 June 2026

Tesla has now officially confirmed that customers in India will no longer be able to purchase FSD as a one-time option after 30 June 2026. From that date forward, the feature will only be available through a subscription model, aligning with Tesla's strategy in several other markets.

Important Note

This deadline applies regardless of whether supervised FSD has received regulatory approval by that date. Owners who want the one-time purchase option must complete the transaction before 30 June 2026.

Testing and Recent Developments

While there has been no large-scale public testing of Tesla FSD in India, the company has been actively collecting data and engaging with local authorities. Tesla is understood to have held discussions with MoRTH officials regarding the regulatory requirements for supervised autonomous driving.

Recent comments from Tesla executives have highlighted India as a high-priority market once regulatory clarity is achieved. The country's large EV market and growing interest in advanced driver assistance systems make it strategically important for Tesla.

Outlook

With the one-time purchase deadline now confirmed, Indian Tesla owners have a clear window to secure FSD ownership before the transition to subscription-only. Regulatory approval for supervised FSD is still expected later in 2026, though no firm timeline has been announced by MoRTH.

Key Takeaways

  • One-time FSD purchase option ends in India on 30 June 2026.
  • MoRTH is the key regulatory body and has not yet approved supervised FSD.
  • Limited testing and regulatory discussions are ongoing.
  • Subscription model will become the only option after the June deadline.
