VinFast to Showcase EVs at Bharat Mobility Show 2025

VinFast, the Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, is preparing to enter the Indian market in 2025. The company will debut its EV lineup at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Show in January. Alongside this, VinFast is reportedly in talks with Adani Group and Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Ltd. (MEIL) for a potential joint venture (JV).

Partnership Discussions with Adani Group and MEIL

According to reports, VinFast is looking into a joint venture in order to earn money and build a network of affordable component suppliers. Working together with well-known regional companies like Adani and MEIL would offer:

• Assistance in navigating India's regulatory framework.

While discussions are ongoing, no agreements have been finalized. Neither Adani Group nor MEIL has officially confirmed involvement in this EV JV.
