VinFast has produced its 10,000th vehicle at its manufacturing facility in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, marking a new milestone for the Vietnamese electric vehicle maker’s operations in India.
The achievement comes less than a year after the company began production at the site, which serves as VinFast’s first manufacturing facility outside its home market of Vietnam.
India Plant Supports Growing EV Portfolio
VinFast entered the Indian market with the launch of its VF 6 and VF 7 electric sport utility vehicles and later expanded its lineup with the introduction of the VF MPV 7 earlier this year.
The company said the production milestone reflects the continued development of its manufacturing footprint in one of the world’s largest automotive markets.
Facility Designed for Future Expansion
Located in Tamil Nadu, the manufacturing complex spans approximately 400 acres and includes a body shop, paint shop, assembly shop, quality control center and logistics hub.
The facility currently has an annual production capacity of 50,000 vehicles, with plans allowing expansion to as many as 150,000 units per year as demand grows.
The plant plays a central role in VinFast’s strategy to establish a long-term manufacturing presence in India and support the company’s broader international expansion plans.
Export and Localization Plans Under Development
VinFast said it intends to further expand its production capabilities in India to support both domestic sales and export opportunities.
The company is also pursuing increased localization of vehicle production, a move aimed at strengthening supply chain integration and enhancing competitiveness in the Indian market.
The latest production milestone underscores VinFast’s efforts to scale manufacturing operations outside Vietnam as it continues expanding its global electric vehicle business.
