VinFast to Enter India with Premium Electric SUV to Take on Rivals

Vietnamese electric vehicle maker VinFast will enter the Indian market with two premium electric SUVs, taking on homegrown rival Mahindra & Mahindra and China’s BYD, which already has a presence in the world’s third largest car market.VinFast unveiled its VF6 and VF7 SUVs at the India Auto Show in New Delhi, as it hopes to draw buyers to its EVs and contribute to India’s goals of eliminating carbon emissions on a net basis, said Pham Sanh Chau, VinFast’s Asia CEO.

”We are turning our focus to India – our next growth frontier,” Chau told reporters.Nasdaq-listed VinFast counts North America and Vietnam as its primary markets but is trying to expand aggressively elsewhere. But the automaker has been reporting deepening losses as EV demand softens. Electric models accounted for about 2.5 percent of the more than four million vehicles sold in India last year. The government, targeting 30 percent by 2030, is working on a program to attract EV makers. VinFast said last year it would invest $500 million (roughly Rs. 4,327 crore) in India over five years to build a car and battery factory, now under construction in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, and launch new car models.The factory will have an initial capacity of 50,000 cars a year and can be scaled up to 150,000 based on demand, Chau said, adding the company is appointing dealers in India and studying investments in setting up charging infrastructure.Like Tesla, VinFast has sought a reduction from the Indian government on the 100 percent import tax on fully built EVs to allow it. to launch cars while its factory comes online. The move has been opposed by domestic automakers.© Thomson Reuters 2025(This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)
