Tesla Falls Short in India With About 600 Orders Since Launch

Tesla Inc.’s long-awaited entry into India has delivered underwhelming results so far, with tepid bookings fueling fresh doubts about the company’s global growth outlook.

The Elon Musk-led electric vehicle maker has received orders for just over 600 cars since launching sales in mid-July, a number that’s fallen short of the company’s own expectations, according to people familiar with the matter. That’s roughly the number of vehicles Tesla delivered every four hours globally during the first half of the year.
