Vietnam-based VinFast on April 15 launched its seven-seater multi-purpose vehicle VF MPV 7 in India, priced at Rs 25.49 lakh (ex-showroom) as the pure-play electric automaker doubles down on its offerings to grab a bigger pie of the fast-growing electric vehicle segment.<\/p>
The VF MPV 7 is VinFast\u2019s third electric car launch in less than a year, highlighting the company\u2019s bullish outlook on the Indian EV market.<\/p>
Equipped with 60.13 kWh (kilowatt hour) lithium-ion battery, the VF MPV 7 has a claimed range of 517 kilometres on a full charge (ARAI certified).<\/p>
The Nasdaq-listed automaker is also bringing in a cheaper taxi variant of the VF MPV 7 called \u2018Limo Green\u2019 for fleet operators.
\u201cLimo Green, which is on the same platform and architecture, but meant for fleet, is going to be available at dealerships soon,\u201d Tapan Ghosh, CEO of VinFast India, told reporters. \u201cIt will be priced lower than the VF MPV 7,\u201d he added.<\/p>
VinFast debuted in the Indian car market with VF6 and VF7 SUVs (sport utility vehicles) in September 2025. In less than a year, it has emerged as India\u2019s fifth-largest electric carmaker.<\/p>
VinFast\u2019s 400-acre manufacturing plant in Tamil Nadu\u2019s Thoothukudi has a production capacity of 50,000 vehicle per annum. \u201cIn order to do justice to the capacity utilisation, we will keep on launching new products after products,\u201d said Ghosh.<\/p>
The Vietnamese automaker currently assembles cars in India using completely knocked down (CKD) kits imported from Vietnam. \u201cOur localization is somewhere around 15% but few months back it was much lower. So, localization will keep on improving with scale,\u201d explained Ghosh.<\/p>
The carmaker is going all out to woo the Indian customer. The VF MPV 7 comes with a 10-year battery warranty. \u201cWe are giving warranty on suspension and paint for seven years,\u201d said Ghosh.<\/p>
With investment plans of $2 billion for India, the Vietnam-headquartered company is not worried about market share in the near term. \u201cFor us it is important is to have the foundation strong, the network strong, the overall ecosystem strong,\u201d said Ghosh.<\/p>
On the ongoing West Asia war and its impact on supply chains, Ghosh said it is not going to have any impact on VinFast\u2019s operations because most of the CKD imports is from Vietnam. As of now, we do not find any supply bottleneck.\u201d
VinFast is also foraying into India\u2019s crowded electric two-wheeler market in the second half of 2026. \u201cTwo-wheelers will also be having the CKD import first,\u201d stated Ghosh.
