Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast has begun accepting pre-orders in India for its VF 6 and VF 7 models, marking its official entry into the Indian market. The company plans to launch both electric SUVs in August, with customer deliveries expected to begin shortly after.
Starting July 15, customers across India can reserve either model by placing a fully refundable deposit of 21,000 rupees (approximately 211 euros), either at VinFast showrooms or through the company’s Indian website. The VF 6 and VF 7 are set to be VinFast’s first offerings in the country and will include features such as Level 2 driver assistance systems, a panoramic sunroof, and connected car capabilities.
VinFast has signed agreements with 13 automotive dealer groups to establish 32 dealerships in 27 Indian cities, with the majority located in the country’s southern region. Key metro areas for the first phase include Delhi, Gurugram, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Kolkata.
To support after-sales operations, VinFast has formed partnerships with local service providers such as Global Assure for 24/7 roadside assistance and customer support, myTVS and RoadGrid for national servicing and charging networks, and BatX Energies for recycling EV batteries.
Local assembly of the vehicles is set to begin at the company’s new facility in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, using completely knocked-down (CKD) kits imported from VinFast’s main plant in Hải Phòng, Vietnam. Pricing details for the VF 6 and VF 7 are expected to be announced in August.
