VinFast has just inked LOIs with more than 50 dealer partners, setting the stage for a rollout that could touch 34 cities across 15 states, from Delhi NCR to Kerala. For a buyer, that means a wider network of touchpoints in the next‑few years.
When you look at the current e‑bike scene, Bajaj Chetak offers a 30‑kW motor and about 120‑km range, while Hero Electric’s models sit around 70‑km. Ather’s 50‑kW beasts boast 125‑km and a premium price tag. VinFast’s upcoming line‑up is expected to slot in between these, potentially delivering a larger range at a mid‑tier price.
These LOIs are just the first step; no showrooms yet. VinFast’s Vietnamese production plant was toured by the partners, giving them a front‑row seat to the manufacturing process. The company is also eyeing charging infrastructure and after‑sales support, which will be critical once the bikes hit the streets.
The win is a signal that VinFast is serious about carving out a share in the fast‑growing Indian EV market, which is expected to cross 5‑million two‑wheelers by 2030. Keep an eye on the official launch window, likely in 2027, and watch how the brand positions its price and boot space against rivals.
