So you’ve been waiting for a new player in India’s electric vehicle game? VinFast just made its move. The VinFast India showroom launch in Surat isn’t just a ribbon-cutting – it’s the start of the Vietnamese EV maker’s big plans to go local, go wide and go electric in a big way.
What’s Inside the Surat Showroom?
Located in Surat’s Piplod area, the new 3,000 sq ft showroom is more than just a test drive. It’s how VinFast begins its journey to get the VF 6 and VF 7 rolling on Indian streets.
- Pre-bookings for both SUVs are open at ₹21,000 – fully refundable – and can be done at the showroom or online at VinFastAuto.in.
- Customers can see the vehicles and get a feel for what VinFast promises: modern EVs, that can handle daily drives without compromising on style or range.
EVs to Watch: VF 6 and VF 7
- The VF 6 brings a compact five-seat layout tailored for daily drives, with pricing likely to fall between ₹18 and ₹24 lakh.
- Positioned as the larger, more upscale choice, the VF 7 is expected to cost between ₹30 and ₹35 lakh.
What’s cool? India is the first market globally to get right-hand-drive versions of these models – clearly VinFast is serious about being local.
A Bigger Game Plan for India
This isn’t a one-city affair. By the end of 2025, VinFast plans to expand its presence with 35 showrooms across 27 cities in India.
Behind the scenes a massive ₹4,000 crore manufacturing plant is coming up in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu with an annual capacity of 150,000 units.
That’s not just about sales – it’s about making India an EV manufacturing hub and exporting to South Asia, Middle East and Africa.
Deliveries will start later this year just in time for the festive season.
More Than Just Cars: An Entire EV Ecosystem
VinFast’s India strategy goes beyond selling cars:
- VinFast has teamed up with RoadGrid and myTVS to build a reliable charging and service support system across India.
- Customer Support: 24/7 roadside assistance via Global Assure.
- Battery Recycling: In partnership with BatX Energies for responsible disposal and reuse.
It’s a full circle approach to make ownership smooth and sustainable.
