VinFast, Vietnam’s first global electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, is rapidly steering toward a bold international vision — and India is now at the heart of its roadmap. After debuting in global markets like the U.S. and Europe, VinFast has officially entered India with its VF6 and VF7 electric SUVs, backed by major investments and a focus on sustainable mobility
Who is VinFast?
Founded in 2017 by Phạm Nhật Vượng, under the umbrella of the Vingroup conglomerate, VinFast has swiftly emerged as a serious contender in the global EV space. Headquartered in Hanoi, the company initially gained fame in Vietnam for producing internal combustion vehicles, but pivoted exclusively to EVs by 2022.
Now listed on the NASDAQ, VinFast has committed to making a mark in key global markets through competitive pricing, clean energy vision, and rapid infrastructure development
🇮🇳 Why India?
VinFast’s strategic push into India isn’t just about market share — it’s about building an EV ecosystem. India, with its growing demand for electric mobility and government incentives, presents a high-growth opportunity.
Key Moves:
- Factory in Tamil Nadu (Thoothukudi):
With a projected investment of $2 billion, the first phase of the plant is already underway at $500 million, aiming to assemble 50,000 units/year, scalable to 150,000 units. - Job Creation & Local Manufacturing:
The facility will generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs and promote local sourcing and manufacturing over time.
Launch Timeline & Bookings
Pre-bookings: Started in July 2025 for ₹21,000 (refundable deposit).
Launch: Official deliveries expected post-August 2025 after the inauguration of the Indian plant
Target Sales: VinFast aims to sell 3,000 units in its first year in India — a conservative start with plans to scale based on demand

Global Challenges & Outlook
Despite its ambitious growth, VinFast faces stiff competition globally — from Tesla, BYD, and legacy automakers. The company has encountered quality control scrutiny and steep financial losses but remains confident due to strong backing from Vingroup and market adaptability
Its North Carolina factory in the U.S. has been delayed to 2028, but plans in India and Indonesia continue on track, positioning Asia as the next big leap in VinFast’s global EV strategy.

VinFast’s entry into India is more than just another EV launch — it symbolizes a shift in the global automotive landscape. With its aggressive investment, commitment to clean mobility, and tech-driven products, the Vietnamese automaker is all set to challenge established players and shape India’s EV future.
