VinFast Crosses 1000 EV Sales Milestone In India Within Four Months
VinFast surpasses 1000 EV sales in India quickly after market entry
Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast has announced that it has surpassed cumulative sales of 1000 units in India, roughly four months after entering the market. The milestone highlights the brand’s early traction in a segment currently dominated by established players.
Sales performance and market positioning
VinFast registered around 830 retail units during a three-month span in 2025. Sales momentum has continued into 2026, with more than 200 electric SUVs delivered so far this year. On the back of these results, the brand has become the fourth significant EV-focused player in India, following Tata Motors, MG Motor and Mahindra.
Launch strategy and product lineup
The company formally commenced operations in India in September last year with the VF 6 and VF 7 midsize electric SUVs. The VF 6 is equipped with a single-motor setup rated at 201 HP and 310 Nm, powered by a 59.6kWh battery that delivers a claimed range of up to 480 km.
The VF 7 is offered with single- and dual-motor configurations and two battery sizes: 59.6kWh and 70.8kWh. Depending on the variant, the SUV also claims a driving range of up to 480 km.
Local assembly and manufacturing capacity
VinFast EVs for the Indian market are assembled in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. The facility currently supports an annual capacity of 50,000 units, with the infrastructure in place to scale production to approximately 1,50,000 units per year as demand grows.
Looking ahead
VinFast’s early sales performance indicates initial acceptance among Indian EV buyers, though longer-term success will depend on competitive pricing, charging infrastructure growth and broader consumer confidence in newer entrants. Further launch phases and additional products are expected as the brand seeks to expand its footprint.
