VIN-ING Formula

India’s newest EV challenger brings more than cars — it brings a complete ecosystem built for confidence.

VinFast promised India speed — and it's delivered. In record time, the Vietnamese EV maker has fired up a brand-new plant in Tamil Nadu, rolled out its first models, and unveiled an ownership package aimed squarely at winning over one of the world's most competitive markets.

From Vision to Reality

India is the first country outside Vietnam where VinFast has set up manufacturing, underlining how seriously the company views this market. Spread across 400 acres in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, the new facility represents an investment in both scale and speed. At launch, the plant can produce 50,000 vehicles annually, with scope to ramp up to 150,000 units. Once fully operational, it will employ between 3,000 and 3,500 people directly, laying the foundation for VinFast's long-term growth in India.

This rapid execution is a classic VinFast move. In just a few years, the company has grown from a newcomer in Vietnam to a global EV challenger. The Tamil Nadu plant also positions VinFast as a production hub for right-hand-drive markets worldwide, a strategic move that puts India at the centre of its expansion story. Alongside manufacturing, the company has ambitious retail and after-sales plans: by end-2025, it expects 35 dealers and 26 dealer workshops across 27 cities spread across India.
