VinFast scales back India sales target, delays production and bookings
Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer VinFast has scaled back its India sales expectations as it prepares to enter the country's electric vehicle market later this year, The Economic Times reported on Monday. The automaker has reduced its initial annual sales target by a third, now aiming to sell 3,000 units in its first year in India, the report added. The rollout of VinFast's VF 7 and VF 6 models in India is also expected to face a one-month delay, attributed to the company's ongoing uncertainties around sales and distribution network in the country, the report added, citing sources. Production at its upcoming manufacturing facility in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu — which was earlier scheduled to commence by the end of June — has also been deferred to July 30. Consequently, the company is expected to open bookings for both models in mid-July, with customer deliveries projected to begin by mid-August. 'VinFast's full-fledged plans will unfold only next year when they introduce the VF 3, the company's affordable SUV. This year will mostly be about making an entry and testing the market,' a source told The Economic Times. Lack of clarity on pricing and dealer exits VinFast's entry into India has been met with dealer hesitation. While the company initially appointed dealers across 40 locations, most have withdrawn their letters of intent, citing unclear strategies around distribution, pricing, and product positioning. Currently, only eight to ten dealers remain committed, The Economic Times reported. One of the dealers who opted out told news platform that the company doesn't seem to have clarity on how many sales touchpoints to have, what price point to launch the models at, and how many units to sell. 'We couldn't commit investment with this lack of clarity,' the dealer said. 'Since the auto expo, VinFast hasn't done much on brand activation. Most are unaware of the brand in India,' said another dealer who withdrew the letter of intent. VinFast's India facility VinFast is setting up a $2 billion manufacturing plant in Tamil Nadu and is also in discussions with the governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana as it considers expanding its operations in India. VinFast said that it plans to introduce its VF7 and VF6 electric models to Indian buyers before the upcoming festival season. The company is aiming for an annual production capacity of 150,000 electric vehicles from its Indian facility in the next few years, with plans to export vehicles to West Asia and Africa. VinFast loses incentive scheme According to a report earlier this month, VinFast's investment of $2 billion in Tamil Nadu did not meet the requirements to receive benefits under India's 'Scheme to Promote Manufacturing of Electric Passenger Cars'. Government representatives clarified that, according to the scheme's rules, only investments made and recorded in the company's accounts after official approval are considered valid. This stipulation requires that any machinery or equipment be installed and operational only after the company has received formal clearance under the program. As a result, any funds spent or assets acquired before this approval are not eligible for incentives, according to a report by PTI.

VinFast tweaks sales plan ahead of its India debut
VinFast has recalibrated its India sales plans ahead of the launch of its electric SUVs scheduled for the upcoming festive season. The Vietnamese company has pared its sales volume target for the first year of launch by a third to 3,000 units, even as it continues to evaluate the method of CKD (completely knocked down) assembly for the V7 and V6 models. The company is also set to delay the launch of these models by a month due to an underdeveloped sales network, according to people aware of the company's plans. Production at VinFast's facility at Thoothukudi in Tamil Nadu-originally scheduled to begin on June 30-has been pushed back to July 30. Consequently, bookings for the VF7 and VF6 models will open in mid-July, with customer deliveries expected by mid-August. An email sent to the company on Tuesday seeking comment remained unanswered till the time of going to press on Sunday. "VinFast's full-fledged plans will unfold only next year when they introduce the VF 3, the company's affordable SUV. This year will mostly be about making an entry and testing the market," said one of the people cited above. The delay is being attributed to a fledgling distribution strategy and lack of network readiness. After the Bharat Mobility Show in January, VinFast appointed dealers for 40 locations. However, a majority of them have since withdrawn their letters of intent (LoIs), citing the company's inconsistent approach to distribution planning, pricing, and product positioning, the people said. As of now, only eight to ten dealers remain, they said. "There was a lot of back and forth. They do not seem to have clarity on how many sales touchpoints to have, what price point to launch the models at, and how many units to sell. We couldn't commit investment with this lack of clarity," said a dealer principal who withdrew the LoI a couple of months ago. "Since the auto show, VinFast hasn't done much on brand activation. Most are unaware of the brand in India," said another dealer who also opted out. Ashish Jain, the executive in charge of network development, seems to have resigned, said some of the people cited earlier. Jain did not respond to ET's message seeking comment and phone calls. VinFast has built a 400-acre integrated EV manufacturing facility with an annual capacity of 50,000 units in Tamil Nadu. At the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, the company showcased a range of models it plans to launch in India, including the VF 3, VF 7, VF 9, and VF e34 SUVs. Electric car adoption in India continues to grow steadily. In May 2025, electric passenger vehicles accounted for 4.1% of the industry car sales, up from 3.5% in April and 2.6% in the same month last year, according to data from the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations.
