Auto Sep 29, 2025

VinFast, the Vietnamese electric vehicle brand, just launched its very first Indian assembly plant in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu—also their first one outside Vietnam.
The facility starts with a production capacity of 50,000 vehicles a year but can ramp up to 1.5 lakh units to serve India, South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa as demand grows.

Plant to create 3,000-3,500 direct jobs

This massive 400-acre plant brings some high-tech automation and is set to create about 3,000-3,500 direct jobs (plus more through a supplier park).
The first cars you'll see from here are the VF 7 (with a panoramic roof) and the compact VF 6 SUV—priced at ₹20.89 lakh and ₹16.49 lakh respectively.
VinFast also plans to open 35 dealerships across India by year-end to make their EVs more accessible.
