Among the Indian delegates was Rishav Kumar Choudhary, Managing Director of JP Emobility, who said the actual scale of the Vingroup ecosystem exceeded all prior expectations. According to him, presentations and corporate materials had failed to fully reflect the magnitude of the infrastructure developed by Vingroup, Vietnam’s largest private conglomerate.
The conference allowed delegates to experience the broader Vingroup ecosystem operating across Vietnam. VinFast electric vehicles were widely visible on the streets of Hanoi and Hai Phong, functioning as private vehicles, commercial fleets, and taxis. Participants also witnessed the presence of Vingroup businesses across multiple sectors, including Vinhomes in real estate, Vinmec in healthcare, VinUni and Vinschool in education, Vinpearl in hospitality, and technology ventures such as VinRobotics and VinDynamics.
Delegates said the consistent success of Vingroup across multiple industries reflected a strong customer-first philosophy established by billionaire founder Pham Nhat Vuong. The business leader reportedly began his entrepreneurial journey in Ukraine more than three decades ago by selling instant noodles and personally demonstrating the preparation process to customers unfamiliar with the product, helping build consumer trust from the beginning.
That same philosophy now drives VinFast’s electric vehicle strategy. Instead of focusing solely on vehicle production, the company has built a broader support ecosystem intended to reduce customer uncertainty around electric mobility. In Vietnam, consumers can experience VinFast vehicles through Green SM, the company’s all-electric ride-hailing platform. Owners can access charging services through V-Green, which plans to maintain charging stations at intervals of approximately 10 kilometers in urban areas and nearly 70 kilometers along highways. The company also plans to operate nearly 400 service workshops nationwide by the end of 2025.
VinFast has strengthened customer confidence further through aggressive ownership incentives, including free charging at V-Green stations until March 31, 2029, and warranties extending up to 10 years for vehicles and batteries. These measures have contributed significantly to the company’s rapid rise in Vietnam’s automobile market. In April 2026 alone, VinFast delivered 24,774 electric vehicles, increasing cumulative deliveries for the first four months of the year to 78,458 units.
Indian partners also visited the Hải Phòng manufacturing facility, one of the region’s largest electric vehicle production hubs. By the end of 2025, the factory had produced 200,000 electric vehicles annually using more than 1,000 ABB robots and a workforce operating across three shifts. Shailesh Borse from MyTVS, one of VinFast’s aftersales partners in India, described the factory as highly modern and technologically advanced, stating that the scale of automation reinforced confidence in the company’s future.
The Vietnam experience is now directly shaping VinFast’s India expansion model. Company executives stated that VinFast aims to replicate the same ecosystem-driven approach internationally by developing manufacturing, charging infrastructure, retail operations, and aftersales support simultaneously rather than treating them as separate verticals.
India has emerged as one of the company’s most important expansion markets. Before selecting Tamil Nadu for its manufacturing operations, VinFast reportedly evaluated 15 locations across six Indian states. The company ultimately transformed undeveloped land in Thoothukudi into a highly automated electric vehicle factory within 15 months.
The facility currently manufactures the VF 6, VF 7, and MPV 7 models for the Indian market. VinFast has already announced plans for further expansion after signing an agreement in late 2025 to add nearly 200 hectares to the existing facility to support future production of electric buses and electric motorcycles.
Simultaneously, the company has aggressively expanded its retail and aftersales presence across India. In March, VinFast inaugurated its 50th showroom nationwide and now aims to establish 75 dealerships across more than 60 Indian cities by the end of the year. The expansion strategy extends beyond metropolitan regions into emerging markets.
VinFast has also partnered with MyTVS, RoadGrid, and Global Assure to establish 120 service workshops across India to strengthen nationwide aftersales support. The company is simultaneously developing a broader electric vehicle ecosystem involving manufacturing, retail operations, charging infrastructure, aftersales services, and battery value chain partnerships.
Charging infrastructure development remains central to the strategy. Through V-Green and multiple local partnerships, VinFast is rapidly expanding charging facilities across India. In late 2025, V-Green signed an agreement with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited to deploy electric vehicle charging stations across the company’s nationwide fuel network. Additional partnerships with vendors across India are supporting the rollout of fast chargers on highways, urban corridors, and Smart Cities zones.
The company has paired infrastructure expansion with ownership incentives aimed at reducing financial and operational barriers for Indian consumers transitioning to electric mobility. These measures include free charging until 2029, complimentary maintenance for three years or 36,000 kilometers, and financial incentives for customers switching from petrol-powered vehicles to VinFast electric vehicles. Several models are also backed by seven-year vehicle warranties and 10-year battery warranties.
Sweta Choudhary, Director of JP Emobility and another participant in the conference, said the combination of free charging and extended warranty coverage represented one of the most competitive ownership packages currently being offered by an international automotive brand in India.
The conference concluded with the signing of Memoranda of Understanding between VinFast and 29 international aftersales partners from India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Kazakhstan. The agreements are expected to support the launch of 68 additional service workshops globally, including multiple new facilities in India.
Speaking on the company’s long-term strategy, Bui Viet Hung, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Global Aftersales at VinFast, stated that the company’s objective is not merely to expand its service network but to establish a customer-centric aftersales ecosystem capable of delivering responsive, reliable, and globally standardized support through partnerships with experienced local operators.
VinFast’s integrated expansion model, combining manufacturing scale, charging infrastructure, retail presence, aftersales support, and long-term ownership incentives, is increasingly positioning the company as a serious contender in India’s rapidly growing electric mobility sector while reinforcing its ambition to establish a global electric vehicle ecosystem built around consumer confidence and long-term reliability.
