Indian investors can buy Tesla shares in fractions or a part of the whole stock value instead of the entire stock. In simple terms, you can even buy 0.1 or any fraction of Tesla stock units. 

Let us understand this better with an example, if you have $10 or ₹855.38 to invest and the cost of Tesla stock is $349.19 or ₹29,572.90, you can still invest your $10 or ₹855.38 and get 10/349 that is 0.0028 units of the Tesla stock in your account. 

Another way to understand this is, if 1 Tesla stock costs $349 or ₹29,572.90 you can buy Tesla stock worth $250 or ₹21,172 which will give you 250/349 units which means you will get 0.716 Tesla shares.

An investor investing in US stocks from India not only benefits from stock or capital returns but also gets the benefit of dollar appreciation versus rupees.

If an Indian resident would have invested in Tesla from India, 5 years ago then the total returns (including dollar appreciation) from Tesla stocks would be 1783%. The annualised return would be 33%. 

To understand this in simple terms, capital appreciation in the last 5 years from Tesla stocks would be 1494%. 

On top of this, the investors will enjoy the gains from appreciation in dollar value versus rupees which would be 18.08%. The calculation is for the last 5 years.

Hence, investing in US stocks from the US will only give an investor capital gains, but an Indian investor will enjoy additional gains from dollar appreciation.

Tesla stock has given 1783% returns in the last 5 years, whereas BYD ADR has given 730%. $100 invested in Tesla stock 5 years ago would have become $1883 and $100 invested in BYD ADR would have become $830.

5 years returns of Tesla → 1783% (1494.86% & 18.08%)

5 years returns of BYDDY → 728% (603.03% & 18.08)
