VinFast Targets 2026 for India's Electric 2-Wheeler Market Entry

Vietnam-based VinFast is preparing a measured entry into India’s fast-expanding electric 2-wheeler market, building its strategy around testing, research and long-term localisation, as per the news reports. 

VinFast’s Phased Plan for India 

As per the news reports, VinFast will begin by testing products in India and conducting extensive market studies before deciding which scooters or motorcycles to launch. The company aims to assess riding patterns, price expectations, and user needs.  

In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Pham Sanh Chau, VinFast Asia CEO, noted the scale of competition but highlighted the company’s confidence in offering differentiated choices, and said, 2-wheelers are part of the company’s plan. 

India’s electric 2-wheeler segment has been surging, accounting for nearly 60–70% of total EV sales. The shift is being driven by fuel costs, wider charging access, and state-level incentives. 

Expanding Beyond 2-Wheelers 

VinFast’s interest in India goes far beyond scooters and motorcycles. The company intends to introduce up to 6 electric vehicles over the next 2 to 3 years. Its long-term roadmap includes cars, two-wheelers, e-buses, pickup vans, charging networks, service infrastructure, and VinFast-branded taxis.
