In One Year, VinFast Went From a Whisper to a Roar in India's EV Market
On a morning in New Delhi, the Bharat Mobility Global Expo buzzed with the familiar hum of Indias automotive giants. Visitors wandered between displays of combustion engines and gleaming show cars, the kind of scene Delhi has hosted for decades. But in one corner of the hall, the crowd slowed. Two premium compact electric SUVs sat under the lights, the VF 6 and VF 7, their sharp V-shaped signatures glowing long before anyone registered the name on the stand. VinFast has quietly climbed into the ranks of Indias top electric vehicle brands VinFasts debut in India on Jan 17 of last year caught even veteran showgoers off guard. The company had brought right-hand drive versions tailored specifically for Indian consumers, a quiet signal that it was here with purpose, not testing the waters. Still, few in the hall recognized the badge. Amid the hum of announcements and clicking shutters, one visitor leaned toward a friend and asked, Who are these people? That question did not hang in the air for long. In the weeks that followed, a group of Indian journalists traveled to Vietnam to see where the cars came from. What they discovered in the northen city of Hai Phong reframed everything. I had no idea VinFast is such a big group , auto journalist Swati Agrawal recalled. I saw the factory, the manufacturing plant, and not only cars, even scooters, buses, electric buses. Everything is being manufactured in one place. Three lakh cars per year. This is not a small brand. Her reaction points to a deeper story. VinFasts sudden visibility in India is not merely an export push. It is the latest chapter in Vietnams own industrial transformation, one that has accelerated quickly enough to catch even Asias seasoned automotive observers off guard. A 400-Acre Factory From Nothing By the time the expo lights dimmed, the next act of VinFasts India story had already begun taking shape in Tamil Nadu months earlier. To choose a location for its plant, the company surveyed fifteen sites across six states. Tamil Nadu, with its manufacturing-ready infrastructure and active support for green mobility initiatives, rose to the top. What happened next showed how the brand like to act. And its right there in the name: Fast. In late February 2024, when the groundbreaking ceremony began on a sun soaked, low lying tract of land near Thoothukudi, the site was still empty. By Aug 4, 2025, it housed Indias newest electric vehicle factory, a 400-acre complex with body shop, paint shop, general assembly, logistics warehouse, and supplier-ready zones. We entered India with nothing , CEO Pham Sanh Chau said at the inauguration ceremony. No land. No factory. No team. The only thing we had was a deep resolve and a belief that this area could become a leading hub for electric vehicles and auto components in South Asia . He gestured to the plant behind him. In just fifteen months, we transformed this land into a modern, highly-automated factory . When the first VF 6 and VF 7 rolled out that morning, they were the first VinFast vehicles to be made-in-India, by the hands and minds of Indian people, for Indian customers. They are a symbol of the aspirations and resilience of the Indian people as they reach for a better, cleaner future , Chau said. The plant is expected to create 3,000-3,500 direct jobs and several thousand more across the supply chain as auxiliary partners move into the region. Suppliers have already expressed readiness to relocate workshops near the factory, a sign of confidence in Thoothukudis rise as an automotive production base. In parallel, VinFasts India team has moved quickly to build the retail and service backbone that can make or break an EV brand in this market. By end of 2025, the company had opened 35 dealerships, stretching from Delhi, Gurugram and Noida in the north to Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kochi and Hyderabad. Yet the most unusual part of the ecosystem lies in aftersales support. VinFast partnered with RoadGrid, myTVS and Global Assure with the aim of creating a full-fledged third-party service centers before the first customer deliveries. Global Assure will operate a round the clock helpline, roadside assistance and mobile service. RoadGrid and myTVS will handle charging, maintenance and diagnostics, including support in areas where VinFast does not yet have a showroom. For a country where questions about EV service often outweigh questions about EV design, this infrastructure may prove decisive. Financing, long a barrier for EV adoption in India, has also been addressed through agreements with major banks including HDFC Bank, Yes Bank, Axis Bank, and others. These arrangements offer everything from dealer inventory financing to 100 percent on-road customer loans, with bank officers stationed directly in showrooms for simplified approval. This is how you support an EV transition , one banker at the Chennai showroom launch said. You do not just sell cars. You build systems . And in the months since customer deliveries began, VinFast has quietly climbed into the ranks of Indias top electric vehicle brands. Industry registration data shows the company already placing among the countrys top 10 EV brands, a notable shift for a name that was unfamiliar to most Indians at the start of the year. Its early momentum, built on steady deliveries and expanding visibility on the roads, has reinforced what many analysts have begun to observe. I love one thing about Vingroup , Swati says. They know what they are doing. And if they have a plant in India, people will think you are not going to just sell the product and leave . She adds, In India, if you give good price, good range, and good service, the customers are yours. Why this first year matters The rollout of Made-in-India VF 6 and VF 7 has already begun shifting industry perception. In April 2025, ABP Live named the VF 7 Most Awaited New Car, praising its design and advanced features. At the Jagran Hi-Tech Awards later in the year, VinFast was named EV Manufacturer of the Year, and the VF 7 won EV Disruptor of the Year. VinFast embodies the spirit of innovation and progress driving Indias EV transformation, said Jagrans auto editor Arjit Garg. He commented that the company has displayed a rare clarity of direction for a newcomer and a people-first vision that aligns with Indias long-term mobility goals. VinFasts long-term commitment became even more visible on Dec 4, 2025, when VinFast signed a new MOU with the Government of Tamil Nadu to expand its Thoothukudi facility by an additional 200 hectares. The second-phase investment will add production lines for electric buses, e-scooters and charging infrastructure, deepening localization and strengthening Indias emergence as a regional manufacturing hub. For many observers, the expansion underscored that the companys commitment runs far beyond its initial launch. With the factory inaugurated, dealerships opening, service networks activating and customers already booking, VinFast enters 2026 as a steady companion in Indias electric transition, intent on growing with the country. Indian visitors to Vietnam say the brands trajectory feels familiar yet refreshing. Piyush, a journalist and content creator, thinks back to the sight of VinFast cars filling Vietnams streets. I can imagine something similar happening in India, he says. Maybe after five or six years.

After Three Successful Editions, WPL 2026 Set To Serve As A Launchpad For Youngsters
ODI World Cup: The Womens Premier League (WPL) gained momentum in its inaugural edition in 2023 and has since become a platform for emerging cricketers to showcase their talent. With the tournament now gearing up for its fourth edition, several up-and-coming cricketers from across the world will be hoping to put up remarkable performances to grab the selectors attention. Over the years, the franchises have targeted youngsters at the auction to provide them with a platform to showcase their talent and bring it to the forefront, and some of them have gone on to become household names. Shreyanka Patil, Saika Ishaque, Kashvee Gautam, and Niki Prasad are prime examples of how WPL has helped shape careers. The first-ever WPL auction saw not-so-well-known players find franchises bidding for them, and four years down the line, the first-ever mega-auction saw teams ignite a bidding war for young cricketers. The mega-auction, held in November, kicked off with a marquee lineup featuring stars like former Australia captain Meg Lanning, Indias ODI World Cup hero Deepti Sharma, Indian pace sensation Renuka Singh, Aussie skipper Alyssa Healy, and South Africas ace Laura Wolvaardt, among others. The auction offered one of the clearest signals yet that the WPL has entered a new phase. The era of simple retention has given way to one of recalibration. Big-money moves, such as Deepti Sharmas Rs 3.2 crore re-signing with UP Warriorz, Amelia Kerrs Rs 3 crore return to Mumbai Indians, and the surprise acquisition of Shikha Pandey for Rs 2.4 crore, reflected a growing premium on multi-skilled, high-impact players. Just as revealing were the notable absences. Healy going unsold, along with several senior England players, underscored a shift in franchise thinking, with teams prioritising balance, availability, and tactical fit over reputation alone. This auction was less about star power and more about laying a sustainable foundation for the future, signalling a league increasingly focused on long-term growth rather than short-term attention. While these well-known players aimed to attract attention, the franchises focused more on acquiring India's emerging talent to build a secure future, not just for their franchise but also for Indian cricket as a whole. The 16-year-old Deeya Yadav became the youngest cricketer to be sold at the WPL auction, and her story became one to remember. The auction room remained quiet for 10-15 seconds after the auctioneer called her name, before Delhi Capitals, who had been tracking the teenager for a while, raised their paddle and roped her in at a base price of Rs 10 lakh. The youngster now aims to do well for her side and make headlines, to get under the selectors radar and earn an India call-up. Deeya is not the only one. There are several stories associated with the WPL, and the tournament keeps making strides and sets new benchmarks with every passing year. Heading into the WPL 2025 auction without an India cap, N. Sree Charani ignited a fierce bidding war between DC and MI, with the former ultimately securing her for Rs 55 lakh. As a trusted left-arm spinner across various phases, she provides the control and dependability that captains value highly. Her reputation has soared, especially after playing a key role in India's ODI World Cup victory, despite being a surprise choice to start as late as June. Courtesy of her World Cup-winning performance and impressive domestic career with Andhra, Charani bagged a Rs 1.3 crore deal at the 2026 mega auction as Delhi continued to showcase their faith in the left-arm orthodox spinner. The tournament has so far conducted three successful seasons, with Mumbai Indians (MI), led by India captain Harmanpreet Kaur, winning the inaugural and the 2025 edition, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) clinching the crown in 2024 under Smriti Mandhanas leadership. With the Women in Blue recently winning the ODI World Cup in November this year, excitement for the fourth edition of the WPL is at an all-time high, with more fans showing their enthusiasm for the tournament. The 2025 season marked a turning point for perceptions of the womens league. Unlike previous years, matches were decided by tighter margins, the gap in playing standards narrowed noticeably, and, for the first time, domestic Indian players consistently shaped results in the games biggest moments. Mumbai Indians title-winning campaign showed how sustained improvement and clearly defined roles can deliver success, while Delhi Capitals run of consecutive second-place finishes underlined just how fine the margins are between consistent excellence and failing to take the next step. DCs decision to appoint Jemimah Rodrigues as captain is symbolic of the leagues shifting priorities. Moving on from Lanning, who led the side to three successive finals, the franchise has opted for renewal, signalling a desire to refresh both leadership and identity. The move also reflects a broader trend across the league: a growing emphasis on Indian captains as the public face of franchises. This shift has gathered momentum in the wake of Indias success at the Womens ODI World Cup, gradually rebalancing the influence foreign players held during the leagues formative years. With younger players increasingly entrusted with captaincy amid congested schedules, rising expectations, and more complex tactical demands, leadership will come under sharper scrutiny than ever. How these new captains manage pressure and shape team culture may prove decisive in defining the leagues next phase. WPL 2026 kicks off on January 9 with two-time and reigning Womens Premier League champions MI facing RCB in Navi Mumbai. The Navi Mumbai leg will take place from January 9 to 17, with 11 matches scheduled, and the subsequent 11 games will be hosted by Vadodara, including the playoffs. The league matches will run until February 1. The Eliminator, involving the second and third-placed teams on the points table, will be held on February 3. The table topper will advance straight to the Final on Thursday, February 5, in Vadodara, where the next WPL champion will be crowned.
