Data from the government’s Vahan portal indicates that GreenSM's contribution to monthly sales ranged from 21% to 33% between April and July, as the service expanded across the Delhi-NCR region. This surge in internal demand has solidified VinFast's position as the fifth-largest EV maker in India, surpassing established brands like Hyundai and Kia.5

In 2023, VinFast's global deliveries soared from 7,000 to 33,000 vehicles, with over two-thirds of these sales directed to GreenSM. The company has reported a month-on-month growth rate of 8-18% from April to June, with a notable spike of 69% in April when including commercial fleet sales.7

What we want to do is build strong products, create value for customers and develop the entire ecosystem around them.” The company is also expanding its charging infrastructure, partnering with around 10,000 HPCL fuel stations to enhance accessibility for EV users.

As VinFast continues to grow, it aims to leverage its integrated manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu, which spans nearly 400 acres and represents an initial investment of $500 million.
