This Tesla rival will make its India debut at the Bharat Expo

What’s the story?

Leading Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer VinFast will officially enter the Indian market at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025.

The company, which competes with Tesla in some markets, announced in February that it would build a new facility on the outskirts of Chennai.

The upcoming motor show will be a platform for VinFast to showcase its vehicle offering and announce its showroom and sales strategies.

VinFast presents a complete range of vehicles

VinFast plans to present its entire range of vehicles at the show, from the VF e34 to the top SUV Vf7.

The company’s entire product range is electric, making it the second purely electric manufacturer to set up shop in India after BYD.

This move is in line with market predictions of a boom in the electric vehicle segment over ₹17 lakh in the next two years.

Debut model and market competition

The VF e34 is said to be VinFast’s debut model in India and will take on models like Maruti e Vitara, Hyundai CRETA EV, MG ZS EV, Mahindra BE 6, Toyota Urban Cruiser EV, Honda Elevate-based EV and SKODA Kushaq EV.

This strategic move would make VinFast a major player in the country’s growing electric vehicle market.
