The plant which has been built in just more than a year marks a significant milestone in the company’s global expansion.  

VinFast Tamil Nadu is the company’s third operational plant and the fifth project in VinFast’s global network. It is also the first facility to be inaugurated outside Vietnam.

Once operating at full capacity, the plant is expected to employ 3,000 to 3,500 local workers and create thousands of indirect jobs in the supply ecosystem.

It will assemble two premium electric models - the VF 7 (C-segment) and VF 6 (B-segment). The initial production capacity is set at 50,000 vehicles per year, which can be scaled up to 150,000 units to meet market demand.
