Electric vehicle maker VinFast Auto Ltd. said it plans to begin selling two made-in-India cars in the South Asian country later this year, marking the Vietnamese carmaker’s debut in the world’s third-biggest car market.

Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) major and Tesla's global rival VinFast is set to make India a global export hub eyeing markets like West Asia and Africa, with the first phase of its $2 billion facility in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, expected to be operational by mid-2025, a senior company executive has said.

VinFast unveiled its VF6 and VF7 SUVs at the Bharat Mobility Global Show 2025 in New Delhi, as it hopes to draw buyers to its EVs and contribute to India’s goals of eliminating carbon emissions on a net basis,
