According to sources in the Industries Department, 90% of the construction is complete, and production is expected to commence within the next two to three months.

VinFast officials held discussions earlier this week regarding the import of crucial EV components. The talks also covered plans to establish shipping logistics and liner connectivity with Vietnam's Port of Hai Phong. This will facilitate both the import of essential parts and the export of finished vehicles to markets across India and abroad.
