Vietnam-based electric vehicle brand, VinFast, is gearing up to enter the Indian market next year. In addition to launching electric SUVs, VinFast is also looking to enter the electric bus and scooter segments.



Ashwin Patil, Vice President & Director of Sales for VinFast in India, stated that the company plans to enter the Indian market shortly. Apart from SUVs, electric scooters and buses will also be part of its India portfolio.

Patil added that the company had the capability and technology to produce electric buses and e-scooters. However, he didn’t provide a specific timeframe for their launch.



VinFast began its operations in Vietnam with the launch of three ICE-powered models. By 2021, the carmaker had transitioned into making EVs. It currently has seven electric SUVs, electric scooters and an e-bus in its product portfolio.

Patil also revealed that VinFast is currently in the process of vehicle testing and is in the advanced stage of finalizing the location of its plant. Initially, the carmaker plans to import its EVs via the CBU route and will begin local manufacturing at a later stage.
