New Delhi, Feb 25 (IANS) Vietnam’s leading electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer VinFast on Sunday broke ground for its first integrated EV manufacturing facility in India.

“By establishing an integrated electric vehicle facility, the company’s commitment to job creation, green transportation, and strategic partnerships solidifies VinFast’s position as a major player in the electric vehicle industry,” Pham Sanh Chau, CEO of VinFast India, said in a statement.
Spanning 400 acres within the State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu (SIPCOT) industrial estate, the EV facility boasts a total initial investment of $500 million over five years, with a projected capacity of 1,50,000 vehicles annually, the company said.

“Tamil Nadu will match VinFast’s ambitious growth plans in the country and is committed to making zero-emission mobility widely accessible. We believe the project will substantially contribute to the local economic advancement, job creation, and technical skill development of the people of Tamil Nadu,” said Tamil Nadu Industries Minister T.
