Vietnamese automaker VinFast has demonstrated significant growth in the Indian electric vehicle market, reporting the sale of 131 electric cars in October 2025. This represents a substantial increase from the 6 units sold in the previous month of September. The company’s performance during the festive season, which includes September and October, saw a total of 137 vehicles sold.

This recent sales surge has positioned VinFast ahead of its global competitor, Tesla, which sold 109 units in India during the same two-month festive period, with 40 of those sales occurring in October. The broader Indian electric passenger vehicle market also experienced robust growth, with a 57.5% year-on-year increase in October 2025, reaching a total of 18,055 units sold.

To support its expansion strategy, VinFast is rapidly building its presence in the country. The company aims to have 35 dealerships operational across India by the end of 2025. Further bolstering its operations is the recently inaugurated assembly plant in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. This facility is set to assemble VinFast’s electric SUVs for the Indian market.

Currently, VinFast’s product lineup in India includes the VF 6 and VF 7 electric SUV models. The combination of competitive pricing and an expanding physical footprint is contributing to the company’s early success as a notable new entrant in the Indian EV space.
