NDTV15-07-2025
Tesla has made its India debut with the launch of the Model Y electric car. The prices of the Tesla Model Y start from Rs 59.89 lakh (ex-showroom). The US-based EV maker has also launched its first showroom in India, located in the Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai. After its Mumbai facility, the brand is also eyeing its second showroom in Delhi. The Tesla Model Y competes with the BMW iX1 LWB in the national market. Here is a detailed comparison between the two electric cars.
Tesla Model Y Vs BMW iX1: Battery And Powertrain
The Tesla Model Y gets two battery pack options- a 60 kWh and a 75 kWh battery. The Tesla Model Y's rear-wheel drive version offers the choice of both a 60 kWh and a larger 75 kWh battery pack in India. The RWD variant is equipped with a single electric motor that generates approximately 295 hp. Furthermore, the 60 kWh battery claims to provide a WLTP range of 500 km on a single charge, while the long-range version asserts a range of 622 km.
Meanwhile, the BMW iX1 houses a 66.4 kWh battery pack that is capable of pushing out a peak power and torque output of 204 hp and 250 Nm, respectively. Also, the BMW iX1 claims to deliver a MIDC range of 531 km on a single charge.
Tesla Model Y Vs BMW iX1 LWB: Exterior
The Tesla Model Y and the BMW iX1 have distinctive exterior appeal as the Model Y carries a much sleeker appeal, contradicting the BMW iX1's committed SUV style. The Tesla Model Y is characterized by sleek LED headlights and DRLs connected in a strip, and the front bumper resembles a lot of the one seen on the Tesla Cybercab. Also, the sloping roofline continues to the tailgate, giving it a well-finished and sleek look.
BMW iX1 LWB Exterior
On the contrary, the BMW iX1 LWB has a signature kidney grille with a closed-off design, iconic 4-eye front fascia featuring adaptive headlights with cornering function, and more. On the rear end, the iX1 LWD carries sculpted 3D LED taillights with triangular inserts. Also, the aluminum-patinated exterior elements like windows and roof rails make it look more premium.

Tesla Model Y Vs BMW iX1 LWB: Interior And Features
Tesla Model Y is equipped with a 15.4-inch touchscreen-enabled infotainment system on the front, along with an 8-inch touchscreen in the second row. Apart from this, it also has heated and ventilated seats, ambient lighting, 8 exterior cameras, and more. However, the Model Y misses out a panoramic sunroof and gets a glass roof instead.
On the inside, the BMW iX1 LWB Veganza leather works on the interior and is highlighted by the M Sport interior package. The M door projector and aluminum-trimmed entry sills with M badging give it a sports appeal. It also gets a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster with a 10.7-inch infotainment screen, a 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, dual-zone climate control, a floating center console, a panoramic roof, and more.

India's 3rd largest airport operator eyes Oct close for over $500 mn bond

BIAL will raise the funds through its second tranche at a similar rate as the first transaction Reuters MUMBAI India's Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL) plans to raise over Rs 46.3 billion ($535 million) via a second tranche of bonds by early October, three sources told Reuters on Monday. Earlier this month, the company which operates the country's third-busiest airport, raised Rs 43.62 billion through the sale of 15-year bonds at a coupon of 8.15 per cent payable on a monthly basis. BIAL will raise the funds through its second tranche at a similar rate as the first transaction, the sources added. All the sources requested anonymity as the talks are still private. The company did not immediately respond to a Reuters email seeking comment. The bonds are rated AAA by Crisil Ratings, India Ratings and ICRA. SBI Capital Markets was the arranger of the previous issue, and will also be the arranger for the second tranche, two of the sources added. The planned bond issue will also be of 15-year maturity and will be privately placed and will not be auctioned on the electronic bond platform like the first tranche, the sources said. "The deal was closed with wide participation from banks, insurance companies and infrastructure focused funds," said one of the sources. The money raised will be used for refinancing of existing debt and new capital expenditure, the person said. BIAL is planning to undertake capital expenditure worth Rs 155 billion over financial years 2026 to 2030 for capacity expansion, according to an ICRA report. This is expected to increase its passenger handling capacity to 80-85 million each year from 51.5 million passengers per annum currently.
