Hanoi (VNA) – VinFast Auto India, a subsidiary of Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) maker VinFast, has begun its retail journey in the country with the inauguration of its first showroom in Surat, Gujarat on July 27.

This development comes ahead of the company’s planned inauguration of its 2 billion USD manufacturing unit in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, on August 4. The Surat outlet marks VinFast’s first physical touchpoint in India and highlights its long-term commitment to building a robust, customer-centric electric mobility ecosystem, the company said.

The showroom will display VinFast’s upcoming range of premium electric SUVs - VF 6 and VF 7. As part of its expansion roadmap, the company aims to establish 35 dealerships across more than 27 cities by the end of 2025.

The dealership, ‘VinFast Surat’, is promoted by Chandan Car, a prominent name in India’s automotive retail sector. Strategically located in Piplod, Surat, the 3,000 sq.ft facility will serve as a one-stop destination for VinFast’s prospective customers, offering immersive product experiences, streamlined purchase journeys, and world-class after-sales service.

Earlier, on July 15, VinFast officially opened pre-bookings for its premium electric SUVs - VF 6 and VF 7. Bookings can be made either through the exclusive showroom or via the company’s website, VinFastAuto.in, with a fully refundable amount of 21,000 INR (243 USD).

The vehicles will be locally assembled at VinFast’s upcoming factory in Thoothukudi, reinforcing the company’s positioning of India as a strategic market and future hub for EV manufacturing.

Pham Sanh Chau, chief executive officer of VinFast Asia, said that the first VinFast showroom in Surat is a symbol of the company's deep commitment to India. Vinfast is excited to bring the VinFast experience closer to Indian consumers. With this dealership, the firm aims to offer not just electric vehicles, but a complete ownership journey built on quality, trust, and service excellence.

He added that with trusted partners like Chandan Car, VinFast is building a future-ready EV ecosystem in the country. Chandan Car's proven automotive expertise, combined with VinFast’s technology and vision, will help shape a premium EV experience for Indian customers./.
