Discover how VinFast’s India plant is set to become a global EV export hub. Production begins mid-2025, fueling VinFast’s international expansion.

VinFast Accelerates Global Expansion with $2 Billion India EV Plant

With the opening of its first production facility in India, Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) maker VinFast is preparing for a major global expansion. The facility is expected to become a pillar of VinFast's international operations and is scheduled to start production by mid-2025, six months ahead of its initial schedule.

Key Highlights of the India Plant

At first, the Tamil Nadu-based plant will generate 50,000 electric cars a year.

The plant will be a major hub for exporting automobiles to countries including the US, Canada, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia in addition to serving the Indian market.

As part of a $2 billion initiative to support India's EV industry, VinFast has pledged an initial investment of $500 million.

The plant will assemble Complete Knocked Down (CKD) parts, with production capacity scalable up to 300,000 vehicles per year, depending on market demand.

Part of a Broader Global Strategy

VinFast’s India venture aligns with its international ambitions, as highlighted during its Q3 2024 earnings call:

  • Indonesia and India will be crucial in expanding the company's footprint in international markets.
  • Even though EV deliveries in Vietnam increased by 115% year over year in Q3 2024, VinFast has only met 55% of its yearly sales goal. International sales now make about 9% of all deliveries, up from 3% the year before.
  • Le Thi Thu Thuy, Chairwoman of VinFast, emphasized the need to diversify geographically, stating the importance of entering new markets to sustain growth and meet ambitious sales targets.

Expanding Operations and Market Presence

VinFast has 173 showrooms across the globe as of October 2024, and it just opened a dealership in Dubai to penetrate the Middle East market. In fifteen Indian locations, the business has obtained Letters of Intent with dealers. VinFast has strengthened its long-term commitment by increasing its permitted capital in India from ₹208 crore to ₹1,250 crore.

Positioning for Long-Term Success

VinFast's aggressive strategy, which includes quicker production schedules and more funding, demonstrates its desire to take the lead in the worldwide EV industry. The Tamil Nadu facility is well-positioned to make a substantial contribution to the company's growth trajectory with a strong plan to access both domestic and foreign markets.
