Hot on Tesla’s heels, VinFast opens first showroom in India

VinFast Auto India, the Indian subsidiary of global Electric Vehicle leader VinFast, announced the inauguration of its showroom in Surat, Gujarat. The outlet serves as the brand’s physical touchpoint in India, and ‘VinFast Surat’ will be promoted by Chandan Car.

VinFast Surat location

 
Strategically located in Piplod, Surat, the dealership will serve as a one-stop destination for VinFast’s prospective buyers. Spanning across 3,000 sq. ft., the facility will offer sales and after-sales support. The Showroom will showcase VinFast’s upcoming range of electric SUVs – VF 6 and VF 7.

 
VinFast officially opened pre-bookings for its electric SUVs, the VF 6 and VF 7, on July 15, 2025. Customers can now book their preferred VinFast electric SUV either at the exclusive showrooms or through the official website, VinFastAuto.in, with a fully refundable booking amount of Rs 21,000.

The VinFast SUVs will compete directly with other EVs in the market that include the Harrier EV, Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9E, and the recently launched Tesla Model Y, which has been the talk of the town.

VinFast India production

 
The vehicles will be locally assembled at VinFast’s upcoming factory in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. As part of its India market entry, VinFast has formed strategic partnerships with RoadGrid, myTVS, and Global Assure to establish a nationwide network for charging and after-sales services. VinFast has also partnered with BatX Energies, a leading Indian clean-tech company, to promote battery recycling and develop a circular battery value chain.

 

Speaking at the showroom inauguration, Pham Sanh Chau, CEO, VinFast Asia, said, “The first VinFast Showroom in Surat, Gujarat, is a symbol of our deep commitment to India. We are excited to bring the VinFast experience closer to Indian consumers. With this dealership in Gujarat, we aim to offer not just electric vehicles but a complete ownership journey built on quality, trust, and service excellence.
 
With trusted partners like Chandan Car, we are building a future-ready EV ecosystem in the country. Their proven automotive expertise, combined with VinFast’s technology and vision, will help shape a premium EV experience for Indian customers.”
