VinFast Announces Partnership With 13 Leading Dealers Groups Amidst Delays

VinFast announced today that it has partnered up with 13 leading dealer groups in India to establish 32 dealerships across 27 cities in India. These cities have been strategically selected based on growing EV adoption and infrastructure readiness. Here are the dealers:

This announcement comes at a time when the Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer had to postpone its India launch plans by a month due to an insufficient sales network. Assembly operations at its Thoothukudi facility in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu also had to be rescheduled to July 30 from June 30. Due to which VinFast had to reduce its inaugural year sales projections by 1/3rd from the original 50,000/year to just 3,000 units per year. The upcoming VinFast showrooms will be equipped to tackle both retail and service work, as they will accommodate both showrooms, workshops and even have a stock of spare parts. 

Alongside expanding its retail footprint in the country, VinFast will also work on ramping up an EV ecosystem. For the purpose of battery recycling, it has struck a partnership with BatX Energies, and for 24/7 roadside assistance, it has collaborated with myTVS and RoadGrid.

VinFast will launch in the country with two products – VF6 and VF7. Both debuted earlier this year at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Global Expo. While official specifications are still under wraps, we expect both to arrive with a single battery pack, with the choice of either a dual-motor setup or a single-motor setup. The battery pack is expected to have a 75.3 kWh capacity. We recently spotted these EVs last month exclusively at a testing track. Tap the link here to find out what stood out the most.
