The Indian EV market is about to get a new boost with the entry of VinFast, the Vietnamese electric car brand. The company has officially confirmed that its compact SUV VF6 and mid-size SUV VF7 will launch in India on September 6, 2025. This marks a big step for VinFast as India is one of the fastest-growing EV markets in the world.
VinFast Entry in India
VinFast has already set up a production plant in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. The plant has an initial capacity of 50,000 cars per year, with plans to expand to 150,000 units in the future. This shows the brand long-term commitment to India and its confidence in the Indian EV growth story. Local production will also help VinFast price its cars more competitively, which is important in a price-sensitive market like India.
VinFast VF6 Highlights
The VF6 is a compact electric SUV designed for city families. It is expected to come with a driving range of around 400 km on a single charge, fast-charging support, and modern features like a large touchscreen infotainment system, connected car technology, ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems), and a stylish design. It will compete with EVs like the Tata Nexon EV and MG ZS EV.
VinFast VF7 Highlights
The VF7 is a mid-size electric SUV with a bigger body, longer range, and premium features. Early reports suggest it will deliver a range of 450 – 500 km, making it suitable for long drives as well as daily use. The VF7 will include advanced safety features, a panoramic sunroof, digital cockpit, and a modern design aimed at young professionals and families looking for style and technology.
Booking and Launch Details
Pre-bookings for both VF6 and VF7 have already started with a token amount of Rs. 21,000. Prices will be revealed on the launch date, September 6, 2025. Deliveries are expected to begin in early 2026 once production ramps up. Industry experts believe VinFast will try to keep the starting price competitive, likely in the Rs. 20 lakh to Rs. 30 lakh range, to attract Indian EV buyers.
Why VinFast Matters for India
India EV market is currently led by Tata, MG, and Mahindra, but global players are entering quickly. VinFast focus on local manufacturing, competitive pricing, and feature-rich models could make it a strong challenger. The launch of VF6 and VF7 also increases choices for Indian customers looking for electric SUVs with global quality standards.
Government Push and EV Adoption
The Indian government policies, including lower GST on EVs, FAME subsidies, and state incentives, are creating the right environment for electric car adoption. With charging infrastructure improving across metro cities and highways, more customers are open to switching to EVs. VinFast entry is timed well to capture this growing demand.
Conclusion
VinFast VF6 and VF7 are set to shake up the Indian EV market. With strong design, good range, and advanced technology, they could become popular options among Indian families and professionals. The September 6 launch will be watched closely by auto experts and buyers alike, as VinFast tries to prove it can deliver quality, value, and performance in one package. If priced right, the VF6 and VF7 may quickly become household names in India electric car journey.
