The agreement was officially executed by Mr. Tapan Ghosh, CEO of VinFast India, and Mr. Narendra Dixit, Head of Retail Banking at CSB Bank. Under the terms of this partnership, customers will access an elite range of retail financing solutions, featuring up to 100% on-road funding, competitive interest rates, and flexible repayment options. To ensure a frictionless acquisition process, the alliance guarantees a seamless loan approval and disbursement protocol across the entire VinFast product portfolio. Furthermore, dedicated CSB Bank relationship managers will be stationed on-site at dealerships to provide direct support, ensuring a smooth financing experience that renders EV ownership more accessible to the Indian public.
This strategic collaboration allows VinFast to leverage the extensive pan-India presence and expanding branch network of CSB Bank to penetrate diverse markets. With a century-long heritage and a growing national footprint, CSB Bank focuses on offering customized financial solutions to facilitate the wider adoption of electric mobility. Mr. Tapan Ghosh, CEO of VinFast India, noted that the partnership is a natural extension of the company’s approach in India, where accessibility and affordability are paramount to scaling EV adoption. He emphasized that the transition to electric mobility depends heavily on how simple and practical ownership is for the customer, and that this collaboration reduces entry barriers while building a well-rounded ecosystem.
Corroborating this vision, Mr. Narendra Dixit, Head of Retail Banking at CSB Bank, stated that electric mobility is rapidly becoming a mainstream choice for both businesses and consumers. He highlighted that as adoption accelerates, there is a critical need for accessible financing that enables both dealers and customers to participate in this transformation. By combining VinFast’s product vision with CSB Bank’s financing capabilities, the bank aims to support the retail auto buyer and the dealer network through tailored auto loans and inventory financing solutions.
VinFast continues to fortify its Indian ecosystem with an assembly plant in Tamil Nadu and a nationwide network of showrooms expected to double within the year. The company’s VF 6 and VF 7 models have already achieved 5-star Bharat NCAP safety ratings, with further models slated for launch in 2026. To mitigate financial and psychological barriers, VinFast is implementing initiatives such as an assured resale value program, transparent buyback schemes, and an extension of the free charging program on the V-Green network until March 31, 2029. Additionally, the "Trade Gas for Electric" program, running from March 11 to March 31, 2026, offers incentives of 3% for electric cars and 5% for electric two-wheelers for those transitioning from gasoline vehicles.
As a subsidiary of Vingroup JSC, VinFast (NASDAQ: VFS) remains committed to its mission of making electric mobility accessible globally, supported by CSB Bank’s extensive network of 855 branches and 826 ATMs/CRMs. This partnership signifies a pivotal shift in the Indian automotive sector, harmonizing premium sustainable technology with century-old financial stability to drive a greener future.
