Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast ended 2025 on a high note after rolling out its 200,000th electric car of the year from its highly automated Hai Phong manufacturing facility, underscoring its rapid scale-up as a global EV player and its growing presence in India.
The milestone vehicle, produced on December 31, was the Limo Green, a fully electric seven-seat MPV that has emerged as one of VinFast’s strongest performers in its home market. The model recorded monthly sales of 9,642 units in November 2025 — the highest ever achieved by any single car model in Vietnam — and is now slated for launch in India and Indonesia, where demand for affordable electric family vehicles and fleet mobility solutions is rising.
VinFast’s Hai Phong plant, equipped with more than 1,200 industrial robots and operating at nearly 90 percent automation, maintained full production momentum through the year-end period. The facility produced close to 26,000 vehicles in December alone and crossed the 1,000-unit-per-day mark on its peak production day, placing it among the world’s high-output EV manufacturing sites.
While production milestones were being marked in Vietnam, the company also posted notable gains in India. According to VAHAN registration data, VinFast recorded 321 EV registrations in December 2025, surpassing Hyundai and Kia to rank fourth in India’s electric car market for the month.
The achievement is significant given VinFast’s relatively recent entry into the country. Although the brand was officially launched in January 2025, customer deliveries began only in September with two locally assembled models — the VF 6 and VF 7 — produced at its Tamil Nadu plant. Within four months, the company expanded its retail footprint to 35 showrooms nationwide.
Over the past year, VinFast has commissioned three new manufacturing facilities in Ha Tinh (Vietnam), Tamil Nadu (India), and Subang (Indonesia), reflecting a localisation-led strategy aimed at reducing supply chain dependence while accelerating market access across Asia.
The company is also investing heavily in India’s EV ecosystem. Its charging infrastructure partner, V-Green, recently signed agreements with HPCL to install fast chargers at fuel stations across the country, addressing one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption — range anxiety and charging availability.
To strengthen customer confidence, VinFast is offering extended warranties of up to 10 years or 200,000 km on vehicles and batteries, along with three years of free maintenance, positioning itself as a long-term player rather than a short-term market entrant.
Industry analysts say sustained execution across manufacturing quality, charging access and after-sales support will be critical to converting early traction into durable market share.
For many early adopters, VinFast’s local manufacturing commitment is already influencing buying decisions. “They didn’t just sell a car — they built a factory here. That shows long-term intent,” said Rahul, a first-time EV owner in Pune.
As VinFast enters 2026, the company appears focused on deepening its manufacturing scale, expanding its EV lineup, and strengthening India’s electric mobility infrastructure — a strategy that could see it evolve from a newcomer into a serious contender in the global EV landscape.
