Vietnamese EV maker, VinFast, recently entered the Indian EV market with its VF6 and VF7 electric SUVs. Deliveries for the two VinFast EVs began in October 2025 and the latest Vahan data from December 2025 shows that the manufacturer has gathered a decent amount of monthly sales. With

375 electric cars sold in December, VinFast has surpassed BMW India, which sold 343 EVs, Kia India, which sold 313 EVs and Hyundai India, which sold 262 electric cars. Sales figures of VinFast EVs were also considerably higher than those of Chinese EV maker BYD in India, which managed to sell 237 cars in December 2025.
