VinFast, the Vietnam-based electric vehicle (EV) car maker, is eyeing to launch 35 dealerships by year-end across more than 27 cities in India as part of its ambitious roadmap.

The firm said in a statement on last Saturday that its subsidiary VinFast Auto India has inaugurated its biggest showroom in India, located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

The opening marks a significant milestone in VinFast’s nationwide retail journey and its growing footprint in India’s EV market.

This new showroom reinforces the brand’s commitment to building a robust, customer-centric electric mobility ecosystem tailored to the needs of Chennai.

This outlet is promoted by Maansarovar Motors, a well-established and trusted name in the city’s automotive retail landscape.

Strategically located in the prominent area of Teynampet, the 4,700 square feet showroom is VinFast’s largest facility among the 35 showrooms expected to open this year.

Its high visibility ensures easy discoverability, serving as a powerful brand recall for customers.

It will showcase VinFast’s premium electric sport utility vehicles (SUVs), including the VF 6 and VF 7, offering customers a seamless brand experience.

“Chennai’s legacy and its thriving ecosystem of innovation, skilled talent, and advanced infrastructure make it a natural choice for VinFast’s first-ever dealership in Tamil Nadu, which is also our largest touchpoint across the country,

“With this dealership, we are proud to deepen our commitment to this dynamic city and bring our premium electric mobility solutions closer to discerning customers in Tamil Nadu,” said Pham Sanh Chau, Chief Executive Officer, VinFast Asia.

“Chennai represents the spirit of progress, and through our partnership with Maansarovar Motors, we aim to redefine the EV ownership journey — combining sustainability, technology, and world-class service,

“This marks not just a retail milestone, but a meaningful step toward co-creating a greener, smarter, and future-ready India,” he added.

VinFast has officially opened pre-bookings for its premium electric SUVs, the VF 6 and VF 7, on July 15, 2025, backed by a rapidly expanding dealer network and national EV ecosystem initiatives.

The vehicles will be locally assembled at VinFast’s factory in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to India as a strategic market and future hub for EV production.

As part of its India market entry, VinFast has formed strategic partnerships with RoadGrid, myTVS, and Global Assure to establish a nationwide network for charging and after-sales services.

Further reinforcing its commitment to sustainability, VinFast has also partnered with BatX Energies, a leading Indian clean-tech company, to promote battery recycling and develop a circular battery value chain.

These collaborations highlight VinFast’s mission to drive a greener future through responsible innovation.
