VinFast preparing to enter Indian electric scooter and bike market

According to a report by Aaj Tak, after establishing a strong foothold in the electric car market, VinFast is now fully prepared to enter the Indian electric scooter and motorcycle market. In the Indian automobile sector, VinFast has emerged as a company that gained popularity among customers as soon as it entered. Currently, the company ranks among the top 5 brands in the electric car sector, and is now planning to establish its dominance in the two-wheeler segment as well.

The company recently filed patents for two new electric two-wheelers in India, which hints at its upcoming planning. However, no official announcement regarding the launch of any specific product has been made by VinFast yet. Moving forward in this direction, the company has also signed agreements with various dealerships in India, indicating that the company is entering the Indian market seriously. Official confirmation regarding which specific models will come to India is still awaited, but some important details have emerged from the patent filings.

One of the products included in the patent is the 'Vento S' scooter, which the company showcased at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo. The special feature of this scooter could be its side-mounted motor. Generally, hub motors are used in most of VinFast's scooters, but the use of a side-mounted motor is a different approach that the company may adopt for the Indian market. Apart from this, the company has also filed a patent for an electric motorcycle. This bike will be equipped with a strong battery and motor housing, wide tyres, and a riding position like a sports bike. Its styling is reminiscent of VinFast's electric bike concept platform.

The electric bikes segment in the Indian market is much smaller compared to electric scooters. On the other hand, the demand for commuter scooters is continuously increasing, and a large number of people are buying electric scooters every month. Keeping this situation in mind, VinFast may launch the 'Vento S' scooter sold in Vietnam in India. In Vietnam, this scooter is available with a 3.5 kWh battery and a motor having 5.2 kW power. Its claimed top speed is 89 kilometres per hour and on a single full charge, it gives a range of up to 160 kilometres. However, no clarification has been made yet regarding with which features and specifications this scooter will be launched in India.

Currently, VinFast only sells electric cars in India, which includes models like VF 6, VF 7 and MPV 7. The company recently created a buzz in the market by reducing the price of its 7-seater car by 4 lakh rupees. Apart from this, the company is also preparing two special cars priced under 10 lakh rupees for the Indian market. VinFast is continuously trying to attract Indian customers with new technology and competitive prices.

VinFast is a leading automobile manufacturer based in Vietnam. The company has made its mark globally and is now expanding its business in major markets like India. In the past, the company has made significant progress in the automobile sector by launching its electric cars and two-wheelers in various countries.
