VinFast, a Vietnamese EV manufacturer, is rapidly expanding its position in India’s EV industry, only months after its launch. As of now, the brand has sold over 183 electric vehicles, ranking it in the top five EV manufacturers by sales.

VinFast improves its sales rankings
VinFast had a remarkable success in late 2025, with sales almost doubling in November due to growing demand for its compact and mid-size electric SUVs.By mid-December, it had risen to fifth place among India’s EV brands, outselling Tesla during the same period.
VinFast’s success, according to analysts, can be attributed to its India-focused strategy, which includes local assembly, low pricing, and an expanding dealer network. Unlike premium EV brands that rely on imports, VinFast’s strategy has enabled it to access a larger pool of urban consumers looking for affordable electric SUVs. The brand now has roughly 24 showrooms in key Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru. It intends to grow its network to roughly 35 dealerships across India soon.
The models that contributed
VinFast has introduced two new electric SUVs in India, the VF 6 and VF 7, in September 2025. The VF 6 variant, priced between ₹16-18 lakh, is primarily intended for city use and features a 60 kWh battery. The VF 7 is a premium electric SUV priced between ₹20-25 lakh. It offers more space, larger battery options, AWD, and premium features like a panoramic roof, making it suitable for buyers looking for a higher-end model.
Tata Motors Continues to Lead the Market
Despite VinFast’s progress, Tata Motors remains the undisputed leader, as it takes the first spot. According to data from mid-December, Tata sold more than 2,200 electric vehicles, beating the competition. Models like the Nexon EV, Punch EV, and Tiago EV still continue to get more sales, keeping Tata’s market share relatively stable.
Indian EV Market
VinFast’s quick rise shows how India’s EV market is changing, with buyers giving more importance to competitive pricing and local manufacturing than just global brand names. While Tata Motors still leads comfortably, the growing presence of new international brands suggests that competition in the EV space will become much stronger in the coming months.
