New Delhi. VinFast is one of the newest players in the Indian car market, focusing on electric vehicles. The Vietnamese brand made its India debut by launching the VF6 and VF7 SUVs, that too just ahead of the festive season. By December 2025, the brand has joined the top five in electric car sales and during this period it has left behind even big brands like Hyundai and Kia. According to VAHAN data of December 29, Tata Motors maintained its dominance in the EV market with 5,231 registrations during this period. MG secured the second position with sales of 3,054 units. Mahindra stood third with sales of 2,600 electric vehicles.

Vinfast's December Sale
Meanwhile, VinFast recorded sales of 321 units in December. Hyundai sold 238 units. Kia performed better than Hyundai with 272 registrations, but still lagged behind VinFast. Due to these December sales figures, VinFast achieved fourth place in the overall EV sales ranking. BMW made it to the top five with sales of 300 electric vehicles in December.

price
VinFast's VF6 and VF7, which are the brand's models in India, are priced between Rs 16.49 lakh and Rs 25.49 lakh (ex-showroom). This price range is one of the most competitive segments of the electric vehicle market, with many other brands also offering their products in the same range. Apart from price, VinFast has also adopted an effective expansion strategy. The company is planning to further expand its portfolio in the coming years. The next vehicle that could be launched is the Limo Green SUV, which has been spotted testing in India.

aggressive pricing
The VF6 and VF7 are already available at competitive prices and VinFast is expected to adopt an aggressive pricing strategy for the Limo Green as well. If this happens, the company can capture even more popular price segments. After the launch of Limo Green in India, a significant increase in sales and market share can be seen. Apart from this, the company is also planning to enter the electric two-wheeler market by launching new products. The brand had earlier told that feasibility study is currently going on on these models and they will be launched in the country later. Along with this, the company is also planning to develop charging network in the country.
