VF6 and VF7 are continuously attracting buyers due to their low prices. In the coming time, the company is also going to bring some new models in India.
New Delhi. Vietnam’s electric vehicle manufacturer Vinfast has registered a tremendous jump in retail sales in India in November 2025 and has left Tesla behind by a huge margin. According to the latest data from the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), the total sales of both the brands are still low, but this month’s figures show how fast VinFast has gained hold in the Indian market after its entry. VinFast had entered India after Tesla and managed to make its place among the buyers in a short time.

According to FADA’s retail report, Vinfast sold 291 electric vehicles in November, while Tesla sold only 48 units. This performance is a big leap for the Vietnamese company, which had sold 131 units in October. With over 122% month-on-month sales growth, VinFast has become one of the most talked-about new brands in the country’s fast-growing electric mobility segment.

At the same time, Tesla’s growth remained slow. Its sales increased from 40 units in October to 48 units in November, i.e. an increase of 20 percent month-on-month. Although the brand identity of the American company is strong in India, the pace of its retail sales has been slow till now. Despite this advance of VinFast, Tata Motors maintained its dominance in the electric vehicle market. The domestic company sold 6,153 electric vehicles in November, further strengthening its market leadership. Tata’s dealerships across the country and its large range of electric vehicles are the reasons for its strength.
Why is Vinfast growing?
Industry experts believe that VinFast’s price and product strategy have been the key factors behind its strong sales. VinFast began local assembly in India in September and launched two models—VF6 and VF7—which were priced at Rs 16.49 lakh and Rs 20.89 lakh (ex-showroom), respectively. The company’s decision to assemble the vehicles locally kept prices competitive and placed both models in the high-demand mass EV segment.

At the same time, Tesla’s offering in India is limited only to the fully imported Model Y, whose starting price is Rs 59.89 lakh (ex-showroom). Due to its premium positioning and higher price, it attracts fewer customers than Vinfast’s more accessible models.
