VinFast Plans 3 New Models, Doubling Sales Outlets in India
VinFast India, a company that makes electric cars, wants to introduce three new car models this year.
The first one is a big car that can seat seven people, which is good for families or businesses.

VinFast already has 35 stores in big cities, but they want to double that number to 75 by next year.
They also want to open more stores in smaller cities.
The company is also working with partners to make sure there are places to charge these electric cars and services to use them for rides.
This will help more people see and use electric cars every day, making them more popular.

The company aims to double its sales outlets from 35 to 75 by 2026, expanding into Tier 3 & Tier 4 cities.
New models focus on safety, reliability, and long-term value, catering to different segments and needs.

“We need to work hard in order to keep that position every month until the end of 2026. That is the first objective for being present here. For other businesses, we also want to increase the number of charging points that we are going to install. Recently, we have been able to tie up with Hindustan Petroleum, so we are going to use all their fuel pump stations and install the charging points. So that will improve the infrastructure of charging points, which will be very crucial.”
